it is long and thin so can carry impulses quickly and easily from the central nervous system (the spinal chord and brain) to the parts of the body that have recieved a reaction.
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
The cell body of a neuron is called the soma
The nucleus in a neuron contains the cell's genetic material and controls the cell's activities by regulating gene expression. It is responsible for producing the proteins necessary for the neuron's structure and function.
The soma, also known as the cell body, is located in the center of a neuron. It contains the nucleus and other organelles essential for the neuron's function.
To carry the nerve impulse from the CNS to the cell body
The nucleus is the control center of the neuron, where genetic information is stored and regulates cellular functions. It plays a vital role in maintaining the neuron's structure and function.
They are called nucleus. For instance, nucleus of cranial nerves.
The structural and functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron cell.
to send electrical impulses away from the cell body, onto the next neuron.
Neurofibrils, the cytoskeletal elements of the neuron, have a support and intracellular transport function.
Dendrites are the branched projections of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They contain receptors that detect neurotransmitters released by neighboring neurons. The main function of dendrites is to integrate and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron.
A neuron is a nerve cell.
