Motor neurons have a complex structure that includes:
Cell body: Also known as the soma, it contains the nucleus and is the metabolic center of the neuron. Dendrites: These are branched extensions that receive electrical signals from other neurons. Axon: A long, slender projection that transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body toward the muscles. Axon terminals: The end points of the axon that form synapses with muscle fibers. Myelin sheath: A fatty layer that surrounds the axon, speeding up the transmission of electrical signals.
