Neurons are nerve cells which are the functional units of the nervous system. The three main parts of a neuron are dendrite, cell body and axon.
Functions of the parts of the neuron:
Dendrite: It detects information and conducts the messages towards the cell body.
Cell body: It contains nucleus, mitochondria, and other cell organelles. It maintains the growth of the cell.
Axon: It conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body and transmits it to the next neuron.
