Question

Draw the structure of a nerve cell and describe its functions.

Hint:

The axon is the main conducting part of a neuron, while dendrites receive stimuli.

Answer 1

The structure of a nerve cell (neuron) consists of the following parts: 
1. Cell body (Soma): Contains the nucleus and other organelles. 
2. Dendrites: Branch-like structures that receive signals from other neurons. 
3. Axon: A long fiber that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body. 
4. Axon terminals: Branches at the end of the axon that transmit the signal to the next neuron. 
Functions: The nerve cell transmits electrical signals to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands in the body.
