What are the 3 main parts of neuron or nerve cells?
The three main parts of a neuron or nerve cell are:
1. Cell body (soma): The cell body is the central part of the neuron and contains the nucleus, which controls the cell's activities.
2. Dendrites: Dendrites are short, branching extensions of the cell body that receive signals from other neurons.
3. Axon: The axon is a long, slender projection that transmits signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
