Video from Neuroscientifically Challenged on YouTube

5.4.2 Describe the general morphology of the neuron (soma, dendrites, axon hillock, axon, terminals) and relate each part to its function.

The part on this line: 2:12–7:00

Why this video

It systematically covers each morphological region of the neuron—dendrites, soma, axon hillock, axon, and axon terminals—and explains how each contributes to receiving, integrating, and transmitting neural signals.

Heads up

Keep in mind that this course identifies the unmyelinated initial segment of the axon adjacent to the hillock as the specific trigger zone for action potential generation.
