närvirakke

Närvirakke is a term of Finnish origin that translates to "nerve cell" in English. It refers to a specialized cell in the nervous system, responsible for transmitting information through electrical and chemical signals. These cells, also known as neurons, are the fundamental building blocks of the brain and nervous system. Närvirakke vary in structure and function depending on their location and role within the nervous system, but they generally consist of a cell body (soma), dendrites that receive signals, and an axon that transmits signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands. The complex network of närvirakke enables all aspects of nervous system function, from sensory perception and motor control to thought and emotion. Damage to närvirakke can lead to a variety of neurological disorders.
