Neuron cells are the most basic structural and functional units of the nervous system, which are divided into cell bodies and processes. There are two types of protrusions: dendrites and axons. The dendrites are short and branched, and directly protrude from the cell body to form dendrites. Their function is to receive impulses from the axons of other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. The axon is long and has few branches. It is a slender protrusion with uniform thickness. It often arises from the axon mound. Its function is to receive external stimuli and then pass out from the cell body.
