  2. 2.Q - Axon
  3. 3.R - Cell Body
  4. 4.S - Synapse

Hint

The figure shows a neuron with its different parts labeled. The student needs to understand the structure and function of a neuron and be able to label the different parts correctly.

Quick oral answer

The figure shows a neuron with its different parts labeled. The dendrite (P) is the part of the neuron that receives signals from other neurons. The axon (Q) is the long, thin extension of the neuron that carries signals away from the cell body. The cell body (R) is the central part of the neuron where the nucleus is located. The synapse (S) is the gap between two neurons where chemical signals are transmitted from one neuron to another.

Common mistakes

  1. 1.Confusing the dendrite with the axon
  2. 2.Confusing the cell body with the synapse

Analysis and explanation

The question requires the student to identify the different parts of a neuron based on the given figure. The student needs to understand the structure and function of a neuron and be able to label the different parts correctly.

Interesting facts

The human brain contains over 100 billion neurons.

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals.
