Introduction to neurons and glia. How the structure of a neuron allows it to receive and transmit information.
Learn about the structure and function of neurons in the nervous system with this educational resource from Khan Academy.
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. Signals are received through the dendrites, travel to the cell body, and continue down the axon until they reach the synapse (the communication point between two neurons).
This video introduces the function and functional types of neurons. Neuron function involves processing and transmitting information. Key components include resting potential, action potentials, and the roles of dendrites, axons, and neurotransmitters. The nervous system contains different types of neurons, each with a unique role.
