There are three types of Neurone and a different structure for each. Each of these types has all the same part just in a different arangement. They have a part callled the Axon which is where they send their Action Potentials (impulses) down, parts called Dendrites which is the heavily branched part where they receive stimulationfrom and a part inbwetween called the Cell Body which is where the Nucleus is. We will look at them in the order they would come in a complex reflex arc.
Firstly the Sensory Neurone: This type of cell has dendrites that are out on a stalk from the cell body. These dendrited are specialised to activate neurone when a specific stimulation type is present. The axon from this cell type is usually not so long as in motot neurones but substantially longer than in interneurones. The cell body sits roughyl in the middle ot the two branches (the axon and the dendrite branches).
Secondly the Interneurone: This types of cell are what is mostly found in the brain. They have incredibly branched dedrites making them look very like a tree. Their axons may or may not be branched and their length OS also very variable.
Finally the Motor Neurone: Here the cell body and the dendrites are very close together, infact the dendrites brach directly of from the cell body. The axon in a cell of this type is usually very long and not very branched at all. This part will be connected to another neurone to pass the singal (in the form of an action potential) on to whatever organ is to be affecteed.

Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
What is the input structure of the neuron?
Dendrites.
How does the special structure of a neuron relate to its functions?
because neuron is the cells that located in our brain
What is the input of the neuron structure?
A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
What structure in the neuron sends signals to the organs?
yes
What is the unit of structure in nervous system called?
Neuron is the unit of structure in the nervous system.
What is the output structure of a neuron?
The axon is the output structure of a nerve cell. Many times it is myelinated like an electrical wire.
Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
What is the input structure of the neuron?
Dendrites.
How does the special structure of a neuron relate to its functions?
because neuron is the cells that located in our brain
What is nerves or neurons?
nerves are white tough and string like structure there r two types of nerves sensory nerve and motor nerve neuron.............. neuron is basic unit of structure and function of nervous system ..........brain spinal cord and nerves are made up of neurons
Structure that carries messages between the brain snd other parts of the body?
The Neuron, and in this case, a motor neuron or a sensory neuron.
The unit of structure in the nervous system is the?
Neuron.
What are the special features of a neuron?
honestly the structure.
What is the input of the neuron structure?
A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
An organism's basic structure of life is called an?
neuron
Structure at the end of a neuron that detects information?
receptor
