Neuron

An excitable cell in the nervous system. Neurons are typically composed of a soma, or cell body, a dendritic tree and an axon. The majority of vertebrate neurons receive input on the cell body and dendritic tree, and transmit output via the axon. Neurons  process and transmit information in the nervous system.
