Neurons transmit information throughout the human nervous system.

All neurons have a cell body, dendrites, an axon, and synapses.

Motor neurons carry impulses from the CNS to muscles and glands.

Relay neurons connect sensory and motor neurons, enabling rapid responses (reflexes).

Sensory neurons receive input from your senses; motor neurons send commands to muscles.

Neurones are the basic building blocks of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.

Dendrites are branching extensions from the cell body of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons.

The axon is a long, slender projection from the cell body of a neuron that carries signals away from the cell body to other neurons or effectors.

A synapse is the junction between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron, where signals are transmitted.

Relay neurons, also known as interneurons, connect sensory and motor neurons, enabling rapid reflex responses.
