It follows that no other cell in the body performs a neuron's exact functions.
<h3>What about neurons?</h3>
Information is transmitted via neurons.
They communicate between various brain regions and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system through electrical impulses and chemical signals.
The basic building blocks of the brain and nervous system are neurons (also known as neurones or nerve cells).
The cells known as neurons are responsible for receiving sensory data from the outside world, sending commands to our muscles, and converting and relaying electrical signals at various points along the road.
The bulk of neurons in vertebrates are found in the central nervous system, however some are found in peripheral ganglia and many sensory neurons are found in sensory organs like the retina and ear.
A neuron is made up of a cell body, which includes a nucleus and cytoplasm, from which long, thin portions that resemble hair grow.
The neuron's lone long component, known as the axon, is responsible for carrying nerve impulses to various body areas.
Dendrites are the short, branching components of the neuron.
Mainly to make life easier. if one layer changes than scientists don't need to change all of their data. it also helps keep organized. hope this helped ebs02 :)
The reactivity greatens the farther you go down on the periodic table. Lithium will have the weakest reaction, and cesium will have the greatest reaction. Patterns like this are useful to scientists because it shows which elements are the most reactive and which aren't. The farther down and to the left you go within the periodic table, the more reactive the elements become. The farther up and to the right you go, the less reactive they become.
