1. Identify the basic structures of a neuron, the function of each structure, and how messages
travel through the neuron.
Solution
Neuron or nerve cell is the struxtural and functional.unit of nervous system. Neuron is the
longest cell in the body measuring upto 1 metre in length. It is formed of three main parts.
1. Cell body or cyton: It is rounded , oval or star shaped about 4 to 13 microns in diameter. Its
cytoplasm.is falled neuroplasm which contains large spherical nucleus with single nucleolus,
mitochondria, Golgi bodies and fine threads called neurofibrils about 10nm 8n diameter and fine
fine basophollic granules called Nissl granules.
Nissl granules take part 9n transmission of nerve impulse
2.Dendrons: These are short and highly branched processes of cyton. Dendrons take nerve
impulse to the cell b9dy.
3. Axon: It is the single long fibre of uniform diameter. Area of origin of axon from cell body is
called axon hillock. Plasma memebrane of axon is called axolemma and its cytoplasm as
axoplasm. Axon conducts impulse away from the cell body.
