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
The inside of an axon is negatively charged relative to the outside

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
