Definition	Description
Multipolar	the most common type of neuron in the CNS
Perikaryon	cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus
Neurofilaments & Neurofibrils	cytoskeleton of perikaryon
Neurofibrils	bundles of neurofilaments extend into the dendrites and axon, providing internal support
Dendrites	typically highly branched, each branch bears fine processes called dendritic spines
Axon	long cytoplasmic capable of propagating an electrical impulse known as action potential
Axoplasm	cytoplasm of axon
Axolemma	surrounds axoplasm
