Q

are the basic functional units of the CNS. It is a cell specialized to receive
stimuli from the environment and transmit impulses to the spinal cord and brain where
these impulses are interpreted; and then to the effector organs (e.g. muscle, stomach,
etc.) for response.

Q

which conducts impulses away from the cell body. The axon presents at its
end many tiny branches called telodendria, where impulses leave the neuron. Several
axons may be grouped/ bundled together to form nerve tracts in the CNS or nerve
trunks in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Number of axon in all neurons is constant
and is always one.
