central region. * Swollen region containing the cell nucleus has several names: cell body‚ soma‚ and perikaryon. * The thin tubes that radiate away from the soma are called neuritis and are of two types: axons and dendrites. * Cell body usually gives rise to a single axon. Axons act like wires that carry the output of the neurons. Dendrites act as the antennae o the neuron to receive incoming signals or input. * Camillo Golgi versus Santiago Ramon y Cajal: Golgi

concentration is increased? -The resting membrane potential will become more positive when K+ concentration is increased. 2. Explain why the resting membrane potential had the same value in the cell body and in the axon. -The resting membrane potential has the same value in the cell body and the axon because the typical resting membrane potential is the same throughout the entire neuron. 3.

They may be one to several. 2. Axon or Axis - It is a single long process of uniform thickness. The part of cyton from where the axon arises is called Axon hillock and is the most sensitive part of a neuron. An axon does not have Nissls granules‚ golgi complex‚ ribosome‚ etc. So cyton supplies protein to axon. Its cell membrane and cytoplasm are known as axolemma and axoplasm respectively. Axon ends in a group of branches called terminal arborizations (axon terminals or telodendria). They have
