Here’s the classification of the structures based on their uniqueness to neurons:

  • Nucleus: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells).
  • Mitochondria: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells).
  • Rough ER: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells, but its distribution is different in neurons).
  • Synaptic vesicle: Unique to neurons (these are specialized structures involved in neurotransmitter storage and release at synapses).
  • Golgi apparatus: Not unique to neurons (found in all eukaryotic cells)
