Paste an image found on LabPaq site or Google images of a spinal cord smear and label its basic parts using basic labeling boxes provided. Identify the cell body, the nucleus, the large nucleolus, and granular Nissl bodies on the slide. Try to find the axon and differentiate it from the dendrites if possible. Hint: after pasting image, right click on it and select “order”, “send to back”.…

There are five major parts of a neuron, the axon, soma, dendrites, the axon hillock and the terminal buttons. The axon transmits the neural signal. The stoma is where signals from the dendrites are joined and passed on. It serves to maintain the cell and keep the neuron functional. The dendrites help increase the surface area of the cell body. They receive info from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the stoma. The axon hillock controls the firing of the neuron. The terminal buttons are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons.…

The nervous tissue is composed of tow major cell populations. The neuroglia are special supporting cells that protect, support, and insulate the more delicate neurons. The neurons are highly specialized to receive stimuli and to conduct waves of excitation, or impulses, to all parts of the body. They are the cells that are most aftern associated with nervous system functioning.…
The nervous system is a collection of nerves with specialized cells. These specialized cells are known as neurons. These neurons transmit signals to different of your body throughout your body. Many also call this the body electrical wiring. The nervous system is control…

The nerve cell body contains the nucleus, rough ER (Nissl bodies), and cytoplasm. It is the major biosynthetic center and the main body for the outgrowth of neuronal processes. Axons and Dendrites are both arm-like extensions from the cell body. Dendrites are short and extremely branched processes that function as the input regions of neurons. Axons are long branched processes that contain end bulbs, these bulbs secrete neurotransmitters, so axons function as the output.…

Neurons are the essential tools we use for every sense that we have, from touch and sound, to critical thinking processes. While true that some neurons vary in many different kinds of shapes, most contain the same basic structure. A neuron consists of three parts: a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and the dendrites receive input from other neurons through the use of their widely branching structures. Dendrite comes from a Greek word meaning "tree". The axon transmits information to other cells. Differing from the dendrites, the axon is a long, thin fiber with branches at its tip.…
