However, nearly all neurons have three essential parts: a cell body, an axon, and dendrites. Cell body Also known as a soma, the cell body is the core section of the neuron.

Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms: chemical and electrical. 2 Chemical synapses communicate ...

We explain what a neuron looks like, ... Axon — this long projection carries information from the soma and sends it off to other cells. ... Sensory — carry signals from the senses to the CNS.

Sensory neurons send information from sensory receptors in the skin, ... A neuron with two processes (one axon and one dendrite) arising from the stoma is called a bipolar neuron.

Features of Neurons. There are many different types of neurons, and they all have special functions in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles that control the body.The three neuron types (sensory ...

A long, thin arm called an axon branches out from each cell body in opposite directions, ... after injury to the peripheral and central branches of the sensory neuron.

“We spent five years developing custom-designed imaging techniques and automated reconstruction and analysis tools,” admits Dr. Oberlaender, “because the axon of an individual neuron can ...

A spinal cord injury damages the lines of communication between the body and brain, impeding the signals that drive movement and sensation. Injured motor and sensory neurons in the central nervous ...
