A researcher is conducting an experiment where he tests a new drug to see its effect on neurons. As he monitors the brains of hi
s test animals, he notices that their neurons have started to grow extra processes on the end of each axon. These extra cell growths are examples of ________
Neurons are longest animal cell that serve as the basic unit of their nervous system.
The neuron is divided into two parts-
Cyton: It is the cell body of the neuron. It has projection extending from the cytoplasm that receive signals called dendrites.
Axon: It is a long process extending from the cyton that carries the impulse from cell body to end of neuron. The axon terminate at knob like structures called terminal button . These release neurotransmitter and are rich in mitochondria.
