Neurons, which transmit chemical and electrical signals in the brain, are a type of cells with many different structures and functions. They are the basic components of the central nervous system. The basic parts of a neuron are the body (cell body), axons (slender protrusions that conduct electrical pulses away from the cell body), dendrites (dendritic structures that can receive information from other neurons) and synapses.https://neuros.creative-biolabs.com/category-neural-cell-structure-18.htm
