there's the axon (the nerve) the electrical impulse goes down that and covering the axon is the myelin sheath, otherwise known as a fatty sheath which insulates and helps make the electrical impulse go faster. In between each myelin sheath there are synapses (gaps between each one) and the impulse has to cross the gap so neurotransmitters are released which bind to receptors on the other side creating another electrical impulse which makes it travel even faster.
The cell body, also known as the soma, is the part of the neuron that functions in cell metabolism. It contains the nucleus and other organelles responsible for maintaining the neuron's metabolic functions.
because neuron is the cells that located in our brain
The three main parts of a nueron are: the dendrites, the axon, and the cell body.
The dendrites portion of a neuron will generate a potential.
Axon
Five parts of a reflex arc are the receptor, sensory neuron (afferent), integration center, motor neuron (efferent), and effector.
sensory neurons, interneurons, and neuron
The cell body of a neuron, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus and organelles necessary for the neuron's metabolic functions and maintenance. It serves as the trophic center because it integrates signals from dendrites and conducts the summation of these signals to determine whether to generate an action potential. This process is crucial for the neuron's survival and overall function.
The nucleus is the control center of the neuron, where genetic information is stored and regulates cellular functions. It plays a vital role in maintaining the neuron's structure and function.
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
