A neuron (/ËnjÊÉrÉn/ NYEWR-on or /ËnÊÉrÉn/ NEWR-on, also known as a neurone or nerve cell) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals between neurons occur via specialized connections called synapses.
A neuron consists of two major parts: a cell body and nerve processes. Cell Body. Neurons contain the same cellular components as other body cells. The central cell body is the largest part of a neuron and contains the neuron's nucleus, associated cytoplasm, organelles, and other cell structures. The cell body produces proteins needed for the construction of other parts of the neuron. Nerve Processes. Nerve processes are finger-like projections from the cell body that are able to conduct and transmit signals. There are two types: Axons: typically carry signals away from the cell body. They are long nerve processes that may branch out ...
