Neurons are fundamental structures of nervous system and brain. The structure of a neuron reflects its basis function, that is, to transmit the information to target cells, by carrying out information from one neuron to another neuron.
For this, neurons show long extensions and branched network. These long extensions extend out from the cell bodies of neurons, known as dendrites. These dendrites receive the signals from axon terminals and transmit them to the cell body.
The amount of lipids stored as an energy reserve far exceeds the energy stored as glycogen since the human body is simply not capable of storing as much glycogen compared to lipids. Lipids yield 9 kcal of energy per gram while carbohydrates and proteins yield only 4 kcal of energy per gram.
