Neurons have several key physical parts: the cell body (soma), which contains the nucleus and organelles; dendrites, which are branching extensions that receive signals from other neurons; and the axon, a longer projection that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body. The axon may be covered by a myelin sheath, which insulates it and enhances the speed of signal transmission. At the end of the axon, synaptic terminals release neurotransmitters to communicate with neighboring neurons.

What are the parts of a neuron and what the different parts do?
parts: cell body, dendrites, and axon. i don't know what they do though..
What does a neuron look like?
The parts of a generic neuron are:- soma - cell body axon - upto 1 meter long dendrite - many
What are the two parts the neuron is split up into?
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
Number of parts in a neuron?
It depends on the neuron. They all have a cell body. They have dendrites and some have dendrites plus axon(s).
State the three main parts of a neuron and describe how an impulse travels through a neuron?
Okay, information is received through the dendrites, and then moves on the the cell body. From there, the cell's axon passes the message on to other neurons or to muscles or glands.
Name the 3 main parts of a neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the dendrites, the axon, and the soma. The dendrites are the nerve endings, the axon is the body, and the soma is the cell body.
What are the parts of neuron and its function?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
What are the parts and function of neuron?
The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.
What are the Parts of neuron?
1. The cell body (or soma) 2) The axon 3) The dendrites
What are the parts of nerve or neurons?
A neuron is a nerve cell, so it has all the parts of an animal cell, plus some specialized parts: axon, dendrites, and perhaps a myelin sheath for insulation.
