The neuron contain dendrites that receive information, a cell body called the soma, and an axon that sends information. Synapses activate other neurons. See https://www.learnbio.org/neuron.html for interactive version

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The neuron contains dendrites that receives information, a cell body called the soma, an an axon that sends information. Schwann cells make activity move faster down axon. Synapses allow neurons to activate other neurons. The dendrites receive a signal, the axon hillock funnels the signal to the initial segment and the initial segment triggers the activity (action potential) that is sent along the axon towards the synapse.
