ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body. Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network.

Detailed explanation-2: -All you need to know about neurons. Neurons are responsible for carrying information throughout the human body.

Detailed explanation-3: -extensions called dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs. Sensory information is transmitted to the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord. More items
