Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The actual nerve cell is the neuron. It is the “conducting” cell that transmits impulses and the structural unit of the nervous system. The other type of cell is neuroglia, or glial, cell. The word “neuroglia” means “nerve glue.” These cells are nonconductive and provide a support system for the neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -The nervous system is a complex network of cells that carries information to and from all parts of the body. The brain is made up of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells.
