Answer 2

STRUCTURE OF NEURON

Explanation:

Neurons are the basic units of nervous system (including brain and the spinal cord). Each neuron has a cell body that has a nucleus. The cell body is called Cyton or Soma. It has fibrelike projections called Dendrons or Dendrites. The dendrites, which have many fine branches, helps carry Impulses (messages encoded as electrical signals) to the Cyton. Another long tubelike projections called the axon, extends outward from the cyton and ends in many branches.
