    What are the classifications of neurons?

    Neurons can be classified by structure, function, or neurotransmitter type.

    What is the function of dendrites?

    They receive signals from other neurons.

    How do dendrites differ from axons?

    Dendrites are multiple and receive signals, while axons are single and transmit signals.

    What defines the structure of a neuron?

    It consists of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon.

    What is the role of the myelin sheath?

    It insulates axons to increase signal transmission speed.

    What distinguishes spinal ganglia from sympathetic ganglia?

    Spinal ganglia contain sensory neurons, while sympathetic ganglia contain autonomic neurons.

    What are Nissl bodies?

    They are rough endoplasmic reticulum in the neuron, involved in protein synthesis.

    What happens at a synapse?

    Neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between neurons.

    What is the function of neuroglial cells?

    They support and protect neurons in the nervous system.

    What is the axon hillock?

    It is the site where action potentials are initiated.
