  1. Overview of neuron structure and function - Khan Academy

    Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …

  2. Overview of neuron structure (types of neurons) - Khan Academy

    This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. …

  3. Overview of neuron function (video) | Khan Academy

    Neurons receive excitatory or inhibitory input from other cells or from physical stimuli like odorant molecules in the nose. Input information usually comes in through the dendrites.

  4. Anatomy of a neuron (video) | Human biology | Khan Academy

    Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

  5. The synapse (article) | Human biology | Khan Academy

    How neurons communicate with each other at synapses. Chemical vs. electrical synapses.

  6. Depolarization, hyperpolarization & neuron action potentials …

    Many different types, broadly categorized with respect to their shape or their function. Motor neurons, interneurons (AKA relay neurons) and sensory neurons are the traditional …

  7. Anatomie eines Neurons (Video) | Khan Akademy

    Neuronen (oder Nervenzellen) sind spezialisierte Zellen, die elektrische Signale im Körper übertragen und empfangen. Neurone bestehen aus drei Hauptbestandteilen: Dendriten, einen …

  8. Membrane potential (resting membrane potential) (article) - Khan …

    In neurons, the resting membrane potential depends mainly on movement of K + through potassium leak channels. Let's see how this works.

  9. Neuron action potentials: The creation of a brain signal

    Neurons are similar to other cells in that they have a cell body with a nucleus and organelles. However, they have a few extra features which allow them to be fantastic at transferring action …

  10. Signal propagation: The movement of signals between neurons

    Your brain is a hotbed of electrochemical activity. About 100 billion neurons are each firing off 5-50 messages (action potentials) per second. This activity allows you to process your …
