THE NEURONTHE NEURON
The cell body is the portion of the nerve cell that surrounds the nucleus. Multipolar neurons have several branches arising form the cell body (cb). There is usually one axon (a) and many dendrites (d). Dendrites carry nerve impulses to the cell body. The axon is designed to carry nerve messages away from the cell body.
