    The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord and integrates information and coordinates the body's activities. The peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to organs, limbs, and skin via nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord. Neurons have a cell body that contains the nucleus, dendrites that receive stimuli, and an axon that sends nerve impulses. There are three types of neurons: multipolar neurons with one axon and many dendrites, bipolar neurons with one axon and one dendrite found in sensory organs, and unipolar neurons with one process that branches into two.

    Nervous system

    Central nervous system


     is the part of the nervous system consisting
    primarily of the :
     1- brain
     2-spinal cord

     The function : it is integrates the received


    information and coordinates and influences
    the activity of all parts of the bodies
    Peripheral nervous system
     Consist of : the nerves and ganglia outside
    the brain and spinal cord

     Function : is to connect the CNS to the


     1-organs
     2- limps
     3- and skin
    neurons components
    1- The cell body : (soma or
    perikaryon) contains the nucleus
    and other cell organelles

    2- The dendrite is typically a short,


    abundantly branched, which is
    receives stimuli.

    3- The axon is typically a long,


    slender process of the cell body that
    sends nerve impulses
    Neurons groups
    Neurons classified into 3 groups :

    1- Multipolar neurons : have one axon and several to


    numerous dendrites

    2- Bipolar neurons : have one axon and one dendrite , Bipolar


    neurons are found only as specialized sensory neurons in the eye, ear,
    or olfactory organs.

    3- Unipolar neurons : have one process of emerging from the cell


    body that branches, T‐fashion, into two processes.
