Draw the structure of a neuron and explain its function

Explanation

The above picture shows the general structure of a neuron. Its special property is to be able to conduct impulses. It consists of a tree like branches or dendrites that receive the stimulus and pass the resulting impulse to the main cell body cyton which passes it to the Jong thread like axon. The axons often extend to great lengths of the body. Reaching the other end of the axon the impulse is transmitted to the next neuron or a chain of neurons or into a muscle or a gland.
