Question

What is a neuron?

Answer 1

A nerve cell that transfers information through the body

Explanation:

Three parts of neuron are

1. Cell body: contains the nucleus, and most of the organelles.

2. Dendrites: highly branched extensions from the cell body that receive signals from other cells.

3. Axon: long extension from cell body that transmits signals to other cells.

Neurons come together to form nerves (elongates bundles of neurons), or to form ganglia (balls of neurons)--the brain is a large ganglia.
