10. Muscle Comparison Table
| Feature | Skeletal | Smooth | Cardiac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Bones | Intestine, Stomach, Iris | Heart |
| Striation | ✅ Present | ❌ Absent | ✅ Present |
| Voluntary? | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (Involuntary) | ❌ No (Involuntary) |
| Branched? | ❌ No | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Nuclei | Multinucleated | Uninucleate | Uninucleate |
| Fatigue? | ✅ Easily fatigue | ❌ Doesn't fatigue easily | ❌ Never fatigue |

Neuron = Nervous system ki basic structural aur fundamental unit | Nerve impulses transmit karne ke liye specialized | Human body ka sabse lamba cell!
📌 Discovery
Camillo Golgi ne neuron ki structure discover ki — "Black Reaction" (Golgi's method) use karke.
Cell Body (Soma)
Nucleus aur cytoplasm contain karta hai — neuron ki activities control karta hai.
Dendrites
Cell body se short, branched extensions — doosre neurons ya sensory cells se signals receive karte hain. Impulses cell body ki taraf carry karte hain.
Axon
Nerve impulses ko cell body se door — doosre neurons ya effectors (muscles/glands) tak carry karta hai.
Myelin Sheath
Fatty layer jo axon ko cover karta hai — axon ko insulate karta hai aur signal transmission speed up karta hai.
Schwann Cells
Glial cells jo brain ke bahar axons pe Myelin Sheath banate hain.
Axon Terminals (Synaptic knobs)
Axon ke end branches — neurotransmitters contain karte hain. Synapse ke through signals next neuron ya effector cell tak transmit karte hain.

21. Transmission of Neuron Impulses
Step-by-Step Process
- Step 1: Stimulus dendrites receive karte hain.
- Step 2: Electrical impulse cell body aur axon se travel karta hai.
- Step 3: Axon terminals pe impulse neurotransmitters release trigger karta hai.
- Step 4: Neurotransmitters synapse cross karte hain → signal next neuron ya effector (muscle/gland) tak pass hota hai.
- Step 5: Response hoti hai!
Flow: Stimulus → Dendrites → Cell Body → Axon → Axon Terminal → Synapse → Neurotransmitters → Next Neuron/Effector → Response
