Structure of Neuron

A neuron is a specialized cell that transmits nerve impulses. It consists of a cell body (soma) containing the nucleus, dendrites that receive signals, and a long axon that sends impulses to other neurons or muscles. The axon may be covered with a myelin sheath to speed up signal transmission. Neurons connect through synapses, where neurotransmitters relay signals to the next cell.
