A neuron in vertebrates generally humans consist of four major regions.
1. A cell body - is the enlarged portion of the neuron and is covered by a cell membrane. It contains the nucleus and the mitochondria and other organelles.
2. Dendrite - are thin cytoplasmic extensions of the body that receive information in the cellbody.
2. Axon - are also thin cytoplasmic extension but they carry information away from the cell body.
4. Synaptic terminals - are formed at the ends of those axons which divide and re-divide.

NEURON
it is the structural and functional unit of nervous system.
PARTS OF NEURON:-
DENDRITE:-it acquires information.
CELL BODY:-The information acquirand ed by it's travels as an electrical impulse.
AXON:-it is the longest fibre on the cell body is called axon. it transmits electrical impulse from cell body to dendrite of next neuron.
