Neuronal Structure

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit chemical and electrical signals in the brain; they are the basic building blocks of the central nervous system. A typical neuron consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and a single axon. Cell body or soma is the portion of the cell that surrounds the nucleus and plays a major role in synthesizing proteins. Dendrites are short, branched processes that extend from the cell body. Dendrites function to receive information, and do so through numerous receptors located in their membranes that bind to chemicals, called neurotransmitters. An axon is a large process that extends from the cell body at a point of origin-called the axon hillock-and functions to send information.
