The basic unit that makes up the nervous system. Also called a nerve cell or neuron. Morphologically, it consists of a cell body, dendrites, and axon. Its shape is diverse, including spherical and triangular. Like other cells, the cell body contains a nucleus, genetic material, and mitochondria, and is unique in that it contains Nissl bodies, which are substances that stain blue-purple with Nissl staining. Functionally, neurons can be classified into afferent (sensory) neurons, efferent (motor) neurons, and interneurons. Based on their effects, they can be classified into excitatory neurons and inhibitory neurons.
