What are the parts of the neuron and their function?
Can you tell me about the parts of the neuron and their function?
Certainly. The neuron has three main parts: the cell body, the dendrites, and the axon. The cell body, or soma, contains the nucleus and other cell structures necessary for the survival of the cell. The dendrites are short, branch-like structures that receive information from other neurons and relay that information to the cell body. The axon is a long, thin structure that sends information to other neurons or muscles.
