Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are the fundamental units of the nervous system. They are specialized cells responsible for transmitting information throughout the body through electrical and chemical signals. These signals allow for rapid communication between different parts of the body, enabling functions such as movement, thought, and sensation.
A typical neuron consists of three main parts: the cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon. The
Neurons communicate through a process involving electrochemical signals. When a neuron is stimulated, it generates an
