Overview of neuron structure and function - Khan Academy
Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …
Overview of neuron structure (types of neurons) - Khan Academy
This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. …
Anatomy of a neuron (video) | Human biology | Khan Academy
Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.
Overview of neuron function (video) | Khan Academy
These steps are how neurons transmit information, often over long distances. This is the general way that neurons usually function. But there are multiple functional types of neurons. So let's …
The synapse (article) | Human biology | Khan Academy
In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron …
Neuron action potentials: The creation of a brain signal
Neurons are similar to other cells in that they have a cell body with a nucleus and organelles. However, they have a few extra features which allow them to be fantastic at transferring action …
Depolarization, hyperpolarization & neuron action potentials …
Many different types, broadly categorized with respect to their shape or their function. Motor neurons, interneurons (AKA relay neurons) and sensory neurons are the traditional …
Neuron action potential description (video) | Khan Academy
Action potentials being conducted down the axons of neurons are the way that neurons can transmit information over a wide range of distances, which may be one meter or more.
