This educational illustration depicts the main components of a neuron, highlighting specific ion channels and neuron structures. The diagram includes the following elements:

1. **Neuron Cell Body**:
   - Labeled with an empty box for additional notes or identification.

2. **Neuron Structures**:
   - **Axon Hillock**: This is the cone-shaped region of the cell body that connects to the axon. It plays a key role in initiating action potentials.
   - **Axon Initial Segment**: The first segment of the axon where action potentials begin.

3. **Ion Channels**:
   - **Voltage-gated Ca²⁺ Channels**: Shown in one of the draggable labels. These channels are typically found at the synaptic terminals and are essential for neurotransmitter release.
   - **Chemically Gated Ion Channels**: Another draggable label representing channels that open in response to chemical signals (neurotransmitters) rather than voltage changes.
   - **Voltage-gated Na⁺ and K⁺ Channels**: Indicated in the axon segment, these channels are critical for the propagation of action potentials along the axon.

The diagram provides interactive elements where learners can drag labels to the correct locations, enhancing engagement and understanding of neuron anatomy and function.
