  1. Overview of neuron structure and function - Khan Academy

    Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …

  2. Overview of neuron function (video) | Khan Academy

    Neurons receive excitatory or inhibitory input from other cells or from physical stimuli like odorant molecules in the nose. Input information usually comes in through the dendrites.

  3. Signal propagation: The movement of signals between neurons

    Your brain is a hotbed of electrochemical activity. About 100 billion neurons are each firing off 5-50 messages (action potentials) per second. This activity allows you to process your …

  4. Overview of neuron structure (types of neurons) (video) | Khan …

    This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. …

  5. Przegląd budowy i funkcji neuronu (artykuł) | Khan Academy

    Mielina dramatycznie zwiększa szybkość, z jaką potencjał czynnościowy przemieszcza się w dół aksonów i odgrywa kluczową rolę w funkcjonowaniu układu nerwowego. _Obraz …

  6. Neuron action potentials: The creation of a brain signal

    Neurons are similar to other cells in that they have a cell body with a nucleus and organelles. However, they have a few extra features which allow them to be fantastic at transferring action …

  7. Anatomy of a neuron (video) | Human biology | Khan Academy

    Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

  8. Neurons (practice) | Nervous system | Khan Academy

    Chemicals called neurotransmitters transfer information between two neurons separated by a gap. These chemicals pass the information from axon terminal of the first neuron to the dendritic tip …
