Neurones

The most important parts of system the

nerve cells also called neurones These
. cells can produce,


process and transmit electrical impulses. The specialisation Fold of Schwann cell

of the various neurone types can be seen in their shape
,



branching and degree of extension (see margin) .
Their len-
Nerve fibre


gut can vary from a few micrometers to more than one




meter. However, neuron diversity can be traced back to a




uniform and typical building plan.

Resting Potential

In this condition the axon is said to be polarised .

The neurone is not resting ! The maintenance of the resting potential requires energy. The Term resting potential
is used to describe a neuron that is not transmitting an impulse
