Solution

(a) To draw the structure of a neuron and label the cell body and axon, follow these steps:

  1. Start by drawing a circle to represent the cell body of the neuron. This is the main part of the neuron where the nucleus and other organelles are located.

  2. Next, draw a long, thin line extending from the cell body. This represents the axon of the neuron. The axon is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the cell body.

  3. Label the circle as "Cell Body" and the line as "Axon" to indicate the respective parts of the neuron.

(b) Now, let's name the parts of the neuron:

(i) The part of the neuron where information is acquired is called the dendrites. Dendrites are short, branch-like structures that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.

(ii) The part through which information travels as an electrical impulse is the axon. As mentioned earlier, the axon is a long, thin structure that carries the electrical signals away from the cell body to other neurons or target cells.

Remember to include these labels in your diagram to clearly indicate the different parts of the neuron.
