Description
Neurons are the basic cells of nervous tissue, capable of transmitting electrical and chemical signals and producing movement in response to signals. The main part of a neuron is the cell body or soma. This contains the nucleus and other organelles. Each neuron has an axon, a fiber which emerges from the cell body and which communicates with target cells via axon terminals. Other processes extending from the cell body are called dendrites, which are involved in receiving signals from other neurons at contact points called synapses.
