Draw the structure of a neuron and explain its function.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Neuron is highly specialized cell responsible for the transmission of nerve impulse.

Cyton or cell body is star-shaped structure that contains nucleus and hair-like structures present on them receives nerve impulse from another neuron are called dendrites.
Axon is the elongated tail like structure that joins cyton and ends in hair-like structures that makes nerve endings. Nerve endings relav nerve impulses.
Myelin sheath acts as an insulator The function of a neuron is to process and transmit information from the brain to all parts of the body.
