Draw the structure of a neuron and explain its function. 

Answer:

Functions- The information acquired at the end of the dendritic tip of a neuron sets off a chemical reaction which creates an electrical impulse. The impulse travels from the dendrite along the axon of its end. At the end of axon/ the electrical impulse sets off the release of some chemicals, which cross the synapse and start a similar impulse in a dendrite of the next neuron. In this way nerve impulses travel in the body. Thus, nervous tissue is made up of an organized network of neurons which are specialized for conducting information via electrical impulse from one part of the body to another.
