  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. 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.

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

    This video introduces the function and functional types of neurons. Neuron function involves processing and transmitting information. Key components include resting potential, action …

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

    In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron …

  6. Depolarization, hyperpolarization & neuron action potentials …

    In neurons, the cell enters a state of hyperpolarization immediately following the generation of an action potential. While hyperpolarized, the neuron is in a refractory period that lasts roughly 2 …

  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 …
