The given process describes the structure of a neuron cell and how information is transferred between the cell units in our nervous system. Overall, there are two main parts connected to form a neuron. The two parts have their own functions: receiving and transmitting information.
The first structure is the cell body, or soma, surrounded by thin, small branches called dendrites. The soma controls all activities of the cell while the dendrites act as receptors to receive messages from other neuron cells.
In addition to the tree branch-like structures, part of the soma is connected to a long tube called an axon. The axon is the place where information runs through as electrical signals to reach the terminals before passing to other cells. The whole axon body is covered by a myelin sheath to increase the speed of the process.
At the end of the cell, there are other branches connected to the dendrites of another neuron to ensure the continuity of passing messengers. This is how the nervous system works to transmit
information effectively.
