- Neuron is the structural and functional unit of Nervous tissues.
- Neurons have the least power of regeneration.
- Structure of Neuron consist of 3 parts:-
-
- Dendrites/ Dendrons
- Cyton (Cell body/ Soma)
- Axon
-
- Cyton of Neurons have groups of ribosomes and RER called Nissil’s Granules.
- Long fibre of the Neuron is called Axon which can be grey (non-myelinated) or white (myelinated).
- Myelin Sheath is secreted by Schwann cells.
- Cytoplasm of Axon is called Axoplasm and its cell membrane is called Axolemma.
