Sensory neurones, motor neurones and interneurones (CNS)
Reception, conduction and transmission of electrochemical signals (100-1000 billion)
Soma = metabolic centre of cell - contains nucelus and intracellular fluid
Cell Membrane
Nucleus = contains chromosomes, produces proteins & some produce MRNA
Cytoplasm = keeps everything in place and protects cell
Mitochondria = extracts nutrients to adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Golgi Apparatus = modifies and sorts proteins
Dendrites = form synapses with other neurones as a post-synaptic cell
Axon = carries message (action potential) to terminal buttons. Secretes neurotransmitters when message reaches it
