This slideshow explains the process of how a neuron communicates.

Labeled illustration of a neuron, with callouts for the nerve body, dendrites, axon, and endings.

Images of the different types of Neurons based on structure. Images are labeled but not given their names. Would work well for review of different types.

Wikipedia offers an overall description of neurons. This site describes their physical appearance, the different parts of neurons, and what their functions are.

York University provides a graphic which depicts the general structure of the neruron.

Very strong introduction to neurons, and then a fair amount of information on their structure and function.
