Important components of the neuromuscular junction where muscle innervation occurs include muscle and nerve fibres and motor end plates (Dhoot et al., 2013) whereas a neuron itself consists of a cell body or soma, axon, basal and apical dendrites (Megias et al., 2001). Neurons can be classified as excitatory or inhibitory based on their structure where excitatory neurons are typically pyramidal cells with one apical dendrite and multiple basal dendrites (Megias et al., 2001). The significant structures highlighted above would be examined and identified in the experiment using a light microscope and prepared slides of dog spinal cord, rat cerebral cortex, brain and
