ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons have 3 basic parts: a cell body and 2 extensions called an axon and a dendrite. Within the cell body is a nucleus, which controls the cell’s activities and contains the cell’s genetic material.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons have three basic parts: a cell body and two extensions called an axon (5) and a dendrite (3). Within the cell body is a nucleus (2), which controls the cell’s activities and contains the cell’s genetic material. The axon looks like a long tail and transmits messages from the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -A neuron has 4 basic parts: the dendrites, the cell body (also called the “soma"), the axon and the axon terminal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each neuron has three basic parts: cell body (soma), one or more dendrites, and a single axon.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Nucleus of a neuron is an oval shaped membrane-bound structure found in the soma or body of the neuron. It contains the nucleolus and chromosomes, necessary for the coded production of proteins within the cell. The nucleolus of the nucleus produces ribosomes.
