大部分神经元死了后却不会再造出来

Cell processes
o Most neurons have two kinds of processes
Multiple dendrites
A single axon
Dendrites Axons
Are the receiving or input portions of a neuron The single long tubular neurite that conducts
impulses away from the cell body
Function: receive impulses & transports them Function: transport / propagates nerve impulses
toward cell body toward another neuron, a muscle fiber, or a
gland cell
Length: usually short processes Length: very short to extremely long
o Microns o From microns (10-6 of a meter) to meters
o Seldom more than a mm
Coverings: always naked Covering: myelinated (cover with myelin) or
unmyelinated
o Myelinated axon 传递神经冲动速度快
很多
Arises from axon hillock
Often referred to as nerve fibers
- A nerve fiber is a general term for any neuronal process (extension) that emerges from the cell body
of a neuron

Classifications of neurons:
A)Classification based on function
o According to the direction in which the nerve impulse (action potential) is conveyed with
respect to the CNS
Sensory neurons 感觉神经元
Motor neurons 运动神经元
Interneurons 联络神经元
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) Motor neurons (efferent neurons) Interneurons (association neurons)
¤ Either contain sensory receptors ¤ Convey action potentials away ¤ Mainly located within the CNS
at their distal ends (dendrites) or from the CNS to effectors between sensory and motor
are located just after sensory (muscles and glands) in the PNS neurons
receptors that are separate cells through cranial or spinal nerves ¤ Integrate incoming sensory
¤ Once an appropriate stimulus information from sensory neurons
activates a sensory receptor, the and then elicit a motor response
sensory neuron forms an action by activating the appropriate
potential in its axon and the motor neurons
action potential is conveyed into
the CNS through cranial or spinal
nerves
¤ Mostly are in unipolar structure ¤ In multipolar structure ¤ Mostly are in multipolar structure
