1. Autonomy of Neuron

• Neuron - Nerve cell & primary functional unit of the nervous system
• Dendrites - the thing where the neuron gets all its information; picking up signals from the other neurons
• Chemical signals in the form of neurotransmitters are what's transmitted between neurons
• Soma (cell body) - contains the nucleus which has the DNA or genetic material of the cell; interprets the neurotransmitters
• Axon - Where the chemical signals are turned into Action Potential and sent to the axon terminals
• Myelin Sheath - Surrounds the Axon and prevents the signal from degrading
• Axon Terminals - Where neurotransmitters are released into the Synaptic gap
