describe briefly how the particular structure of a neuron relates to its function in the body.
Neurons have dendrites that receive signals from other neurons. The cell body processes these signals. The axon transmits electrical impulses away from the cell - body over long distances. Axon terminals release neurotransmitters to communicate with other cells. For example, motor neurons have long axons to transmit signals from the spinal cord to muscles for movement.
