What does “Neuron” actually mean in Neural Control & Coordination, and why does it matter for NEET?
the nerve cell that carries impulses, with dendrites (receive), an axon (transmit) and synapses (connect).
In simple words: the nerve cell that carries impulses, with dendrites (receive), an axon (transmit) and synapses (connect). Getting Neuron clear matters because NEET questions on Neural Control & Coordination usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Neuron
Common mistake
thinking the axon receives signals.
Memory tip
dendrites receive, axon sends — remember 'axon = away'.
