Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of a neuron, which consists of the cell body (soma), dendrites, axon, and synapse.
Recognize that the cell body is the central part of the neuron and contains the nucleus, which is essential for the neuron's function and maintenance.
Identify the role of dendrites, which are extensions from the cell body that receive signals from other neurons.
