Learn about the structure and function of neurons in the nervous system with this educational resource from Khan Academy.

Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

Neurons receive excitatory or inhibitory input from other cells or from physical stimuli like odorant molecules in the nose. Input information usually comes in through the dendrites.

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 …

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. …

Many different types, broadly categorized with respect to their shape or their function. Motor neurons, interneurons (AKA relay neurons) and sensory neurons are the traditional …

Neurons are similar to other cells in that they have a cell body with a nucleus and organelles. However, they have a few extra features which allow them to be fantastic at transferring action …

Wait. So how do the dendrites even respond to a signal. and what would be the defintion of a signal if you are dealing with neurons?
