The most complex system in the body, responsible for communication and control.

Specialized cells that transmit information in the nervous system.

Supporting cells that help neurons function properly.

A junction between two neurons, where signals are transmitted from one neuron to another.

The central part of a neuron, containing the nucleus and most of the cell's organelles.

Branches extending from the cell body, specialized to receive signals from other neurons.

A single long process extending from the cell body, responsible for transmitting signals to other cells.

The brain and spinal cord, forming the central control center of the nervous system.

Neurons with one axon and two or more dendrites. They are the most common type of neuron in the nervous system.

Neurons with one dendrite and one axon. They are found in sensory organs like the retina and olfactory mucosa.

Neurons with a single process that splits into two branches, one going to the periphery and the other to the central nervous system.

Neurons with multiple dendrites but no true axon. They do not generate action potentials but regulate electrical activity of nearby neurons.

Neurons that receive sensory information from the body and transmit it to the central nervous system.

Neurons that carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands.

Neurons that connect other neurons within the central nervous system, forming networks and circuits.

The area on the axon where excitatory and inhibitory signals are summed to decide whether to initiate a nerve impulse.

The plasma membrane of the axon, containing ion channels essential for generating action potentials.

The specialized endings of an axon that form junctions with other neurons or cells, transmitting signals.

The cytoplasm of the axon, containing organelles and other molecules for its function.

Movement of materials from the cell body to the axon terminals, transporting essential molecules and components.

Movement of materials from the axon terminals back to the cell body, carrying recycled materials and signals.

Motor proteins located on microtubules that move molecules and organelles along the axon.

The area where axons originate from the cell body, often shaped like a pyramid. It is the site where the axon's electrical impulse starts.

A region of the cell body rich in ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum, giving it a basophilic appearance in histological staining. It indicates active protein synthesis for the neuron.

Specialized structures on dendrites that serve as the first point of processing for synaptic signals.

The specialized area within the neuron responsible for integrating incoming signals from dendrites and generating outgoing signals along the axon.
