Abstract

The nervous system of animals contains certain specialized cells, called nerve cells or neurones, that are responsible for the transmission of information within the animal's body. Those cells consist of an enlarged part containing the nucleus, and cytoplasmatic processes extending from if. The processes are classified by hystological and physiological criteria as axons or dendrites. Neurones of vertebrates usually have only one axon, and it rarely branches except at its termination.
