Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, and they generate electrical signals called action potentials, which allow them to quickly transmit information over long distances. Glia are also essential to nervous system function, but they work mostly by supporting the neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system and its most important part is the brain, where the information is processed. Every neuron is made of a cell body, also called a soma, dendrites and an axon.
