1) shape of neuron: consists of cell body, dendrite and axon ---cell body: spherical, pyramidal fusiform or stellate in shape, 5um-150um ---dendrite: like branches of tree ---axon: long thin cord-liked
Terminal branches of axon (form junctions with other cells Dendrites (receive messages from other cells Axon (passes messages away from the cell body to Cell body other neurons (the cells life muscles, or glands) support center) Myelin sheath (covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed Neural impulse neural impulses) (electrical signal traveling down the axon)
