CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A cluster of fibers at one end of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. The part of the neuron that carries messages destined for other neurons. Small bulges at the end of axons that sends messages to other neurons. A protective coat of fat and protein that wraps around the axon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ganglia. In the peripheral nervous system, clusters of neurons with associated nerve fibers and supporting cells are referred to as ganglia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites are the finger-like cells present on the end of a neuron. They are short, branching fibres extending from the cell body of the nerve cell. This fibre increases the surface area available for receiving incoming information.

Detailed explanation-4: -A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dendrites and axons are cytoplasmic extensions, or processes, that project from the cell body. They are sometimes referred to as fibers. Dendrites are usually, but not always, short and branching, which increases their surface area to receive signals from other neurons. The number of dendrites on a neuron varies.
