NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Each neuron in your brain has one long cable that snakes away from the main part of the cell. This cable, several times thinner than a human hair, is called an axon, and it is where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -information flow in a neuron is primarily unidirectional: dendrites (and the cell body) receive signals from other neurons or receptor cells, via specialized interfaces called synapses.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (the projections of neurons) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). A nerve provides a structured pathway that supports the electrochemical nerve impulses transmitted along each of the axons. In the central nervous system, the analogous structures are known as tracts.
