Long Live Neuron

Neurons

One of the most fascinating structures on earth.

86 Billion in the brain and all of the are made at birth

Coming in all sizes with lovely functions from

Multi

Bi

And unipolar

But you can’t forget the large, Moto, sensory, and interneurons

The structure the structure! They are free, costing no monies,

Dendrites, Axons, and cell bodies

            The four zones, can you picture them? 

            Roses are red violets are blue, it’s easy to remember the IICO

            Input first

            Integration second

            Can you remember the conduction and output?

            Don’t look to far, it’s as simple as head to foot

As the information slides down the body extending to the feet,

The dendrites are here to receive the good news,

The body transforms, transferring to the myelinated axon

Quick fast and speedy, full of nothing but energy

The impulse generated go go go! Ready to go right on by.

As the axon terminals go bye bye, leaving messages

The pre and pot synaptic lock and key.

Various nerves and different cells can’t wait to just flee.

The many births and saddening deaths, long live the active nerve!
