Describe the structures and the function of the neuron

What will be an ideal response?


The major parts of the neuron include the dendrite, soma, axon, terminal buttons (which contain neurotransmitters), and myelin sheath. Neurons function to transmit electrical signals, in the form of an action potential within the neuron and to transmit chemical signals between neurons. An exceptional answer might also include mention of the three major types of neurons, which are sensory (afferent) neurons, motor (efferent) neurons, and interneurons.
