AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each neuron has three basic parts: cell body (soma), one or more dendrites, and a single axon.

Detailed explanation-3: -A neuron has 4 basic parts: the dendrites, the cell body (also called the “soma"), the axon and the axon terminal. Dendrites-Extensions from the neuron cell body that take information to the cell body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nervous system cells are called neurons. They have three distinct parts, including a cell body, axon, and dendrites. These parts help them to send and receive chemical and electrical signals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Although there are billions of neurons and vast variations, neurons can be classified into three basic groups depending on their function: sensory neurons (long dendrites and short axons), motor neurons (short dendrites and long axons) and relay neurons (short dendrites and short or long axons).
