What is neuron labelled diagram?

A neuron labelled diagram typically includes the following parts:

  1. Cell body: The main part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and other cellular structures.

  2. Dendrites: Branching extensions of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.

  3. Axon: A long, thin extension of the neuron that transmits signals away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.

  4. Myelin sheath: A fatty insulation that wraps around some axons and speeds up signal transmission.

  5. Axon terminal: The end of the axon where neurotransmitter molecules are released to signal to other neurons or muscles.

  6. Synapse: The connection between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released and received.

  7. Neurotransmitter: Chemicals released by neurons that carry signals across synapses to other neurons or muscles.

Overall, a neuron labelled diagram provides a visual representation of the different parts of a neuron and how they work together to transmit information throughout the nervous system.
