    Neuron (Greek.. Νεῦρον = fiber nerve) is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system, obtain to an important class of highly specialized cells , able to receive, absorb, process, transfer and respond information using electromagnetic signals (nerve impulses). Neuron as the basic unit of the nervous tissue was described in 1835 by Jan Evangelista Purkynije, the term neuron was established by Heinrich Wilhelm Waldeyer and the concept of neurons as the basic structural functional unit

    My project had explained detail in Nervous system and also part of brain .Already i mentioned the title NS because of related with daily life .Neuron science is the field of science that focuses on the study of the Nervous system. Nervous system consists of Brain ,spinal cord ,sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect the organs with the rest of the body. Together these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts .The brain and spinal cord form the

    is rapid and critical to the brain’s ultimate functioning level. The cells that make up the nervous system and most of the brain are neurons. They are responsible for sending messages and information throughout the entire body. As the embryo develops, neurons begin forming in the neural tube, and ultimately branch out to create the foundation of the brain. Neurons differ from other types of body cells because they don’t bond with or touch each other. Instead, they are separated by gaps named synapses

    receptors to the relevant worried gadget. Sensory neurons transmit reactive responses from the periphery to the imperative fearful device even as the motor division conducts action potentials from effector organs which include muscular tissues and glands. In assessment, motor neurons transmit motion potentials from the vital worried device toward the periphery .The nervous gadget consists of tens of millions of nerve cells referred to as neurons. Neurons are the parenchyma of the apprehensive gadget

    1. Name and describe (4) major primary components of a neuron and their functions (4 points). Neurons are made up of four parts which are the dendrites, the soma, the axon and the myelin. Dendrites are the branches of the neuron which receive messages and are attached to the soma. The soma contains the nucleus and is mainly responsible for keeping the cell alive and running. Axon is the message carrier of the neuron and it does so as a fiber attached to soma. Lastly, the myelin is a fatty substance

    the CNS and PNS, contains two essential sorts of cells: neurons and glial cells. A glial cellis one of an assortment of cells that give a structure of tissue that backings the neurons and their exercises. The neuronis the all the more practically essential of the two, regarding the informative capacity of the sensory system. To depict the utilitarian divisions of the sensory system, it is critical to comprehend the structure of a neuron. Neurons are cells and along these lines have a soma, or cell body

    1a. Neurons, also called nerve cells, are specialized cells tasked with carrying signals or messages throughout the body. These messages are sent and received with neurons through an electrochemical process using their specialized parts axons and dendrites. 1b. On average, our brains contain about 100 billion neurons. 1c. Dendrites are what receive the electrical and chemical messages such as neurotransmitters, and the axons send information and release neurotransmitters. Dendrites are attached

    A synapse is a small space at the end of a neuron. The synapses purpose is to pass information from one neuron to another. Synapses are composed of three parts; the presynaptic end that contains neurotransmitters, the synaptic cleft between two nerve cells and the postsynaptic ending that contains receptors. The communication between neurons advances through a series of steps. First, the presynaptic neuron delivers an action potential down its axon until it loses its myelin sheath and divides into

    Neurons communicate with one another along a synapse. Neurons are excitable cells that are activated via electrical or chemical signals. Nerve cells are an integral part of the nervous system. Neurons are made up of three distinct parts. The three integral parts of the neuron are the cell body, the dendrites, and the axon. The cell body is the middle portion of the neuron and contains the nucleus. It also contains the organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria. An action

    Inside human brains contain around 100 billion neurons, which primarily connect to other neurons in order to communicate. Nevertheless, neurons help us perform simple, everyday tasks like answering your telephone or opening a door. With the help of many different structures, neurons, for the most part, let us communicate efficiently. (cite,book) The nervous system is made up of two sections, the Central Nervous System, which is composed of the brain, cerebellum, and the spinal cord. Whereas, the
