Neurons

Neurons are the main cellular building blocks of the nervous system (working together with glial cells, which provide support). A typical neuron has a cell body with a nucleus, and has parts called dendrites and axon. These parts help the neuron receive, process, and send electrochemical messages to and from other cells.
