Label the parts of a neuron in Figure 7.5.
Solution:
a) Dendrite- These are the branch like structures that receives messages from other neurons and help in the transmission of impulses to the cell body.
b) Cellbody-It is also called as soma. It is a star shaped structure with a nucleus, golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochindria etc.
c) Axon- It is a tube-like structure that carries electrical impulse from the cell body to the axon terminals that passes the impulse to another neuron.
d) Axon terminal- It is the end of an axon that helps in the tranmission of electrical impulse to the dendrites of another neuron.
