### Tsarin Kwayar Halitta

Ƙwaƙwalwar kowane nau'in nau'in nau'i ne na farko da ya ƙunshi nau'i-nau'i masu yawa na sel guda biyu: neurons da glial cells . Kwayoyin Glial (wanda aka fi sani da *glia* ko *neuroglia* ) sun zo cikin nau'i-nau'i da yawa, kuma suna yin ayyuka masu mahimmanci, ciki har da goyon bayan tsari, goyon bayan rayuwa, rufi, da jagorancin ci gaba. Neurons, duk da haka, yawanci ana ɗaukar su ne mafi mahimmancin **sel** a cikin kwakwalwa.  Abubuwan da ke sa neurons su zama na musamman shine ikon su na aika sigina zuwa takamaiman sel masu nisa a nesa mai nisa.  Suna aika waɗannan sako ta hanyar axon, wanda shine siraran protoplasmic fiber wanda ke fitowa daga jikin tantanin halitta kuma yana aiwatarwa, yawanci tare da rassa masu yawa, zuwa wasu wurare, wani lokacin kusa, wani lokacin a cikin sassan kwakwalwa ko jiki masu nisa. Tsawon axon na iya zama na ban mamaki: alal misali, idan kwayar pyramidal (wani abu mai ban sha'awa) na kwakwalwar kwakwalwa ya girma ta yadda jikin tantanin halitta ya zama girman jikin mutum, axon, daidai da girma, zai zama igiya. 'yan santimita a diamita, wanda ya wuce fiye da kilomita.  Waɗannan axon suna watsa sigina a cikin nau'in bugun jini na lantarki da ake kira ƙarfin aiki, wanda bai wuce kashi dubu ɗaya na daƙiƙa ba kuma yana tafiya tare da axon a cikin gudun mita 1-100 a cikin daƙiƙa guda. Wasu neurons suna fitar da yuwuwar aiki akai-akai, akan ƙimar 10-100 a sakan daya, yawanci a cikin tsarin da ba na ka'ida ba; sauran jijiyoyi suna shuru mafi yawan lokaci, amma lokaci-lokaci suna fitar da fashewar damar aiki. 

Axon suna watsa sigina zuwa wasu ƙananan ƙwayoyin cuta ta hanyar haɗin gwiwa na musamman da ake kira synapses . Axon guda ɗaya na iya yin haɗin kai har dubu da yawa tare da wasu kwayoyin halitta  Lokacin da yuwuwar aiki, tafiya tare da axon, ya isa wurin synapse, yana haifar da sakin sinadari da ake kira neurotransmitter . Neurotransmitter yana ɗaure ga ƙwayoyin mai karɓa a cikin membrane na kwayar da aka yi niyya. 

Synapses sune mahimman abubuwan aikin kwakwalwa.  Muhimmancin aikin kwakwalwa shine sadarwar salula zuwa tantanin halitta, kuma synapses sune wuraren da sadarwa ke faruwa. An kiyasta kwakwalwar dan adam tana dauke da kusan tiriliyan 100 synapses;  hatta kwakwalwar kuda ta 'ya'yan itace tana dauke da miliyan dayawa.  Ayyukan waɗannan synapses sun bambanta sosai: wasu suna da ban sha'awa (mai ban sha'awa na kwayar halitta); wasu kuma masu hanawa; wasu suna aiki ta hanyar kunna tsarin manzo na biyu waɗanda ke canza sinadarai na ciki na sel masu manufa ta hanyoyi masu rikitarwa.  Babban adadin synapses ana iya canza su sosai; wato suna iya canza ƙarfi ta hanyar da tsarin siginar da ke ratsa su ke sarrafa su. An yi imani da cewa gyare-gyaren da ya dogara da ayyuka na synapses shine tsarin farko na kwakwalwa don koyo da ƙwaƙwalwa. 

Yawancin sarari a cikin kwakwalwa ana ɗaukar su ta hanyar axon, waɗanda galibi ana haɗa su tare a cikin abin da ake kira *hanyoyin fiber jijiya* . An nannade wani axon mai myelin a cikin wani kumfa mai rufe fuska na myelin, wanda ke taimakawa sosai wajen haɓaka saurin yaɗa sigina. (Akwai kuma axon marasa lafiya). Myelin fari ne, yana sa sassan kwakwalwa da ke cike da filaye na jijiyoyi suna bayyana a matsayin fararen fata mai launin haske, sabanin launin toka mai duhu wanda ke nuna wuraren da ke da yawa na jikin kwayoyin neuron.
