Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the basic structure of a neuron, which includes the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon.
Recognize that the cell body (soma) contains the nucleus and is responsible for maintaining the cell's health.
Identify that dendrites are structures that receive signals from other neurons and convey this information to the cell body.
Learn that the axon is a long, slender projection that carries electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Conclude that the axon is the structure responsible for transmitting signals away from the neuron's cell body.
