Nerve cell. Phase contrast light micrograph of a neuron (nerve cell) from a chicken embryo that has been growing in a culture for 11 days. A cell body
Nerve cell. Phase contrast light micrograph of a neuron (nerve cell) from a chicken embryo that has been growing in a culture for 11 days. A cell body (dark grey) can be seen, surrounded by dendrites, projections that receive nerve impulses from other neurons. Each cell also has one axon, an extension that connects to the dendrites of other neurons.
