Taugafrumurnar

Taugafrumurnar, also known as neurons, are the fundamental units of the nervous system. They are specialized cells responsible for transmitting information throughout the body via electrical and chemical signals. These signals allow for communication between different parts of the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body. A typical neuron consists of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. Dendrites are branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons. The cell body contains the nucleus and other essential organelles. The axon is a long projection that transmits signals away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. The junction between two neurons is called a synapse, where neurotransmitters are released to carry the signal across the gap. This intricate network of taugafrumurnar enables complex functions such as thought, emotion, movement, and sensation. They are crucial for survival and for interacting with the environment.
