whar is neuron? Draw the structure of neuron and explain its role and functions
Answers
Answer:
Functioning of its three parts. Dendrite: It detect information and conducts the messages towards the cell body. Cell body: It contains nucleus, mitochondria, and other cell organelles. ... Axon: It conducts messages away from the cell body and pass to the next neuron.
Neurons (also called neurones or nerve cells) are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.
Neuron has three components –
(i) Cell body
(ii) Dendrites
(iii) Axon
The dendrite picks up the nerve impulse from receptors and then pass the impulses to the cell body and then along the axon. The axon passes the impulse to another neuron through a junction called synapse.
