A short stretch of RNA with a free 3' end, bound by complementary base pairing to the template strand, that is elongated with DNA nucleotides during DNA replication.
Two general types of cells are found in the nervous system: neurons and neuroglia. A. Neurons 1. Consist of three main partsâdendrites (conduct impulses to cell body of neuron); cell body of neuron; and axon (conducts impulses away from cell body of neuron) 2.he nervous system transmits information rapidly by means of nerve impulses conducted from one body area to another. The nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the many nerves of the body.
A neuron consists of a cell body (perikaryon) and its processes, an axon and one or more dendrites. Neurons function in the initiation and conduction of impulses. They transmit impulses to other neurons or cells by releasing neurotransmitters at synapses. a nerve cell; the basic structural unit of the nervous system. There is a wide variation in the shape of nerve cells, but they all have the same basic structures: cell body, protoplasmic processes, axons, and dendrites. The neuron is the only body cell whose principal function is the conduction of impulses.
