Each neuron consists of a cell body or perikaryon, from which arise the nerve fibers. And each neuron has two kinds of fibers: a single axon, which conveys nerve impulses away from the cell body, and one or more dendrites, which convey nerve impulses towards the cell body. Neurons are functionally linked by their fibers at connections called synapses. All neurons are post-mitotic.
However, unbalanced vegetarian diets may be lacking in a number of important nutrients. To ensure that you are eating a balanced vegetarian diet, you should regularly consume sources of vitamin B-12, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids and essential amino acids.
B12 and iron are plentiful in vegetarian-based high-protein diets by lacking in meat-based diets. b. Vitamin C and folate are missing in both vegetarian and meat-based high-protein diets. c. Vitamins A, C, and B12 are in short supply for all high-protein diets. d. Legumes are excellent sources of all B vitamins but lacking in iron, vitamin C, and vitamin A.
