In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will detail the anatomy and function of a neuron. We begin by identifying the major structural components of a neuron, including the cell body (soma), dendrites, axon hillock, axon, myelin sheath, and axon terminals, and explain how each contributes to the reception, integration, and transmission of electrical signals. We also explore the supportive role of glial cells, the significance of the resting membrane potential, and the sequence of events that initiate and propagate an action potential. The discussion highlights how electrical impulses travel along myelinated versus unmyelinated axons, and how synaptic transmission allows communication between neurons. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of how neurons function as the fundamental signaling units of the nervous system.
