I had to draw the neuron and its parts for my neuroscience class. Here is what I made! Click the pic for a larger view. :) NOTE: I had to change my picture a bit, because I didn’t have the astrocytes connecting to the synapses. I also added a few other things. It is a little more crowded now, but I guess more correct. Another NOTE: I deleted the first two pics because they had mistakes. Here is the final version which may also have mistakes, but I think it is the most correct version. :)
Hi Kristin. Love your neuron! Which reminds me one of my old labmates’ favorite put-downs: “If he had another neuron, he could apply for a synapse!”

Thank you Hakon! And thanks for the joke! hehe :)
