	Neuronal Architecture Price: 0 Description: Neurons are soma's consisting of a nucleus and cytoplasmic envelop that can secrete an active agent known as a transmitter. The cytoplasm is contained in a plasma membrane that can extend some distance from the soma as either an axon, effector pole or as dendrites, receptor pole. "
Excerpt from the Presentation: The receptor pole consists of single or multiple dendrites that arise from a soma. Dendrites are receptor arbors that widen the receptor field for inputs from other neuronse enabling intra-neuronal integration and inter-neuronal communication as circuits. Dendrites are characterized by their branching patterns forming the shape of very consistent arbors for each neuronal type. The length of these projections away from the soma reach as much as 1 mm distributing volume for defining the neuron
