Neuron

A neuron is like a tiny messenger in your brain that helps your body send messages around. Think of it like a telephone line for your brain to talk to the rest of your body.

The neuron looks like a long tube with little branches sticking out all over it. These branches help the neuron connect with other neurons and work together to send messages.

Whenever you learn something new, like how to ride a bike, your brain sends a message through the neuron to your muscles to help you pedal and steer.

Even though a neuron is very small, it's very important for helping your brain communicate with the rest of your body.
