This category covers the structure of neurons, the different types of neurons, and their roles within the neural system, including sensory, motor, and interneurons.
Synaptic vesicles, located in the synaptic knob, store neurotransmitters and release them into the synaptic cleft.

The axon carries nerve impulses away from the neuron's cell body toward synapses or effector organs.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheath around axons in the central nervous system (CNS).
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
The cell body (or soma) contains the nucleus and organelles, supporting neuron function.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
Dendrites receive incoming signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
The axon terminal contains synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters for signal transmission.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
The neuron is the structural and functional unit of the neural system, responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
The cell body (or soma) contains the nucleus and most of the neuron's organelles.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
Multipolar neurons, which have one axon and multiple dendrites, are commonly found in the cerebral cortex.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
The axon terminal releases neurotransmitters that transmit signals to the next neuron or effector organ.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 18: Neural Control and Coordination Neural System and Neuron - Structure Types and Functions
The axon terminal releases neurotransmitters, transmitting signals to the next neuron or muscle fiber.
