-
Place where neurons collect information, often from other neurons.
-
A nerve cell that has many dendrites and a single axon.
-
Specialized swellings at the ends of the axon, the axon terminals (sometimes called synaptic boutons) that communicate the cell's activity to other cells at synapses.
-
The place where the decision to produce a neural signal is made.
-
A nerve cell that has a single dendrite at one end and a single axon at the other end; found in some vertebrate sensory systems.
-
The end of an axon or collateral, which forms a synapse upon a neuron or other target.
-
A nerve cell with a single branch that leaves the cell body and then extends in two directions: one end is the receptive pole, the other end the output zone.
-
A single extension from the cell that carries nerve impulses from the cell body to other neurons.
-
One of the extensions of the cell body that are the receptive surfaces of the neuron.
-
The region of a neuron that is defined by the presence of the nucleus.
-
Here, a single extension, the axon, leads away from the cell body and transmits the cell's electrical impulse away from the cell body to targets near or far.
