Nervous System
This is a neuron. A neuron’s cell shape is unique to itself. The Nervous system is made completely out of neurons. But there is more than one type of neuron. There’s motor neurons, which are in charge of involuntary responses to signals. There’s also sensory neurons. They send the senses like pain, touch, sight, taste, sound, and smell to the brain. Then the motor division chooses how you respond.
Now we will explain the main parts of a neuron.
Dendrite: A short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.
Axon: The long threadlike part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells.
Axon Terminal: Are separated from neighboring neurons by a small gap called a synapse, across which impulses are sent.
