Cyton-
- Cyton varies in size and form as it can be up to 13.5 micrometres in diameter and may be variously shaped.
- Cyton may be irregular, spherical, oval, rounded, star-shaped etc.
- It contains cytoplasm called neuroplasm with a prominent nucleus and other cell organelles like mitochondria, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, lysosomes, fat globules, Nissl’s granules and neurofibrils.
- Nissl’s granules are granules of ribosomes and ER which are involved in synthesising the proteins.
- The functions of cyton are concerned with metabolic maintenance and growth.
