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.
Each neuron consists of a cell body or perikaryon, from which arise the nerve fibers. And each neuron has two kinds of fibers: a single axon, which conveys nerve impulses away from the cell body, and one or more dendrites, which convey nerve impulses towards the cell body. Neurons are functionally linked by their fibers at connections called synapses. All neurons are post-mitotic.
