(N/A) neuron (nerve cell) consists of three main parts: the cell body (cyton),dendrites,and the axon.
$1$. Cell body (Cyton): It contains the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is the metabolic center of the neuron.
$2$. Dendrites: These are short,branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
$3$. Axon: It is a long,slender projection that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body.
Key structures include the myelin sheath (insulating layer),nodes of Ranvier (gaps in the myelin sheath),and the motor end plate (synaptic terminal) which transmits signals to the next cell.
