Neurons have different shapes and sizes, but all have the
same basic structure. They have a central core, located in a roughly spherical area of
the neuron, called cell body. From the cell body come out fine branched extensions.
These extensions are called dendrites. From the cell is detaching a
single, long fiber, called the axon, the main fiber which
provides the leading of the signal to the nerve.
So, the
statement that a neuron contains more than an axon is false!
