The Neuron: Building Blocks of the Nervous System

This video tutorial explores the neuron, the primary cell of the nervous system. It covers the structure of neurons, including the soma, dendrites, axon, and myelin sheaths, and explains how these components facilitate communication within the nervous system. The video also discusses how neurons form networks through synapses, enabling the transmission of messages that the central nervous system interprets as sensory experiences. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
