1 Answer
According to the NCERT, a neuron consists of three main parts:
1. Cell body (soma): Contains the nucleus and other organelles
2. Dendrites: Short, branched projections that receive signals
3. Axon: A long fiber that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body
The neuron's structure is specialized for transmitting electrical signals throughout the body.
