When mature, do neurons lose the ability to divide? Are they composed of a soma and an axon?
Lucas AguilarIndeed, a nerve cell, also known as a neuron, has dendrites and a cell body called a soma. Since nerve cells lack centrioles, they are unable to divide, making it impossible to repair damage to them.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
