Neuron Cards
Description: Neuron Nerve cell, a neuron is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes and transmits information with the help of electrical and chemical signals. It is one of the basic elements of the nervous system. In order to be able to react adequately to its environment, a person's neurons transport stimuli.

Description: A detailed, monochrome diagram illustrating the structure of a neuron. It features a central cell body with branching dendrites, an axon, Schwann cells, myelin sheath, and myelin terminals. Text labels identify each part: 'Neuron', 'Cell body', 'Bernching Dendrites', 'Dendrites', 'Axon', 'Schwann', 'Myelin', and 'Myelin terminals'. The background is black with white line work.
