Answer

A neuron is a nerve cell and is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It is made up of cyton, dendrites, and axon.

Answer

The cyton is the main cell body of a neuron. It contains a nucleus and gives out fine processes called dendrites.

Answer

Dendrites are cytoplasmic extensions of the cell body of a neuron. They receive impulses from organs and transmit them through the cell body into the axon.

Answer

The axon is the long process of a neuron that transmits the message. The end of the axon terminates in terminal branches.

Answer

A synapse is the point of contact between the terminal branches of the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron. Messages are transmitted across this point from one neuron to the next.
