Solution:

Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that transmit signals throughout the body.

Structure of neurons contains:

Dendrites:

• These are extensions of neurons that receive signals and conduct them toward the cell body.

Axons:

• Axons are extensions of neurons that conduct signals away from the cell body to other cells.

Synapse:

• The axon splits into several smaller branches. Each of these branches terminates at another cell at a junction which is called a synapse.
• It is the site where an axon terminates at a target cell.
