contain Nissl's granules and are called dendrites. These
  1. fibres transmit impulsestowards the cell body. The axon is a long fibre, the distal end of which is branched.
  2. Each branch terminates as a bulb-like structure called synaptic knob which possess synaptic vesicles containing chemicals called neurotransmitters. The to a symapse or to a neuro-muscular junction. Based on the number of axon and dendrites, the neurons are divided into three types, i.e. multipolar (with one axon and two or more dendrites: found in the cerebral cortext, bipolar (with one axon and one dendrite, found in the retina of eye) and unipolar (cell body wivith axon only, found usually in the embryonic stage). There are two types of axons, namely, myelinated and nonmyelinated. The myelinated nerve fibres are enveloped with Schwann cells, which form a myelin sheath around the axon. The gaps between two adjacent myelin sheaths are called nodes of Ranvier. Myelinated nerve fibres are found in spinal and cranial nerves. Unmyelinated nerve fibre is enclosed by a Schwann cell that does not form a myelin sheath around the axon, and is commonly found in âtonomous and the somatic neural systems.

  4. Neurons are excitable cells because their membranes are i state. Do you know why the membrane of a neuron is polaris types of ion channels are present on the neural membrar channels are selectively permeable to different ions. When a conducting any impulse, i.e., resting, the axonal n comparatively more permeable to potassium ions ( impermeable to sodium ions . Similarly, the impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in Consequently, the axoplasm inside the axon contains high
