Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to carry out.

Sometimes different parts of different cells perform other functions, but these tend to be where the neuron receives its signal. And we'll talk more about what it means to receive and transmit a signal in …

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. Learn about the …

In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron structure and action …

Neuron function involves processing and transmitting information. Key components include resting potential, action potentials, and the roles of dendrites, axons, and neurotransmitters.

Action potentials (those electrical impulses that send signals around your body) are nothing more than a temporary shift (from negative to positive) in the neuron’s membrane potential caused by ions …

Sometimes different parts of different cells perform other functions, but these tend to be where the neuron receives its signal. And we'll talk more about what it means to receive and transmit a signal in …

Explore the world of neural cells, the building blocks of our nervous system. Uncover the roles and functions of neurons and glia, and how they work together to regulate our body's functions. Discover …

In this video I'm going to introduce the structure of the nervous system and the nervous system is divided into two main structural parts. The first is called the central nervous system.

Neuron structure and organization reflect function in information transfer (La estructura neuronal y su organización reflejan su función en la transferencia de información).
