ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons are the functional unit of the nervous system. They have this amazing ability to detect, receive and transmit a variety of stimuli. These neurons communicate with each other through nerve impulses, which can be understood scientifically.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from sense organs and internal organs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the central nervous system to organs, glands, and muscles-the opposite direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nerve cell, or neuron, is the key player in the activity of the nervous system. It conveys information both electrically and chemically. Within the neuron itself, information is passed along through the movement of an electrical charge (i.e., impulse).

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons are information messengers. They use electrical impulses and chemical signals to transmit information between different areas of the brain, and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tightly controlling membrane resting potential is critical for the transmission of nerve impulses.
