Question

Explain the structure of cyton.

✓

Answer

Cyton is the main body of a neuron or nerve fibre.
The cyton has a distinct central nucleus with a nucleolus and neuroplasm.
Cytoplasm surrounds the nucleus around which there are neurofibrils, Nissl’s granules and other cell organelles.
Nissl’s granules are rich in ribosomes and proteins.
Neurofibrils play an important role in transmission of nerve impulse.
The cytons are generally found inside the brain, spinal cord (CNS) and in the ganglia.
Cytons within CNS form ‘nuclei’ while those present outside CNS in nerves form ‘ganglia’.
