Step-by-step explanation:

a neuron is made of 2 main parts-

1) a main cell body called cyton

2) a long process called axon

the cell body contains a necleus.the dendrites are cytoplasmic extension of the cell body. from the cell body arises one long process called the axon it's length many vary from few millimetres to 1 meter the end of the axon terminates in a number of branched filaments called terminal branches

there r 3 kinds of neurons-

1) sensory neurones- they carry impulses from the sense organs to the spinal cord or brain

2) motor neurones- they carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands

3) association neurons- these transmit impulses from 1 neuron to another via synapse
