What does a neuron look like?
A neuron comprises a cell body with a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long thin hair-like parts emerge. Every neuron has a solitary long part called the axon, and some little, short expanded parts called dendrite. An individual nerve cell is known as a neuron, it very well might be up to a meter long.
