2022年3月22日 · Your nerves run throughout your whole body. They connect your brain and spinal cord with other parts of your body so you can move and feel sensations. They also control many of your body’s “automatic” functions, such as breathing or digesting food.

Neurons are the main components of nervous tissue in all animals except sponges and placozoans. Plants and fungi do not have nerve cells. Molecular evidence suggests that the ability to generate electric signals first appeared in evolution some 700 to 800 million years ago, during the Tonian period.

2023年11月16日 · Your nervous system is your body’s command center. It’s made up of your brain, spinal cord and nerves. Your nervous system works by sending messages, or electrical signals, between your brain and all the other parts of your body. These signals tell you to breathe, move, speak and see, for example.

2024年1月16日 · A neuron is a nerve cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. Neurons consist of a cell body, dendrites (which receive signals), and an axon (which sends signals). Synaptic connections allow communication between neurons, facilitating the relay of information throughout the body.

neur/o or neur/i is a combining form that refers to “nervous system” or “nerve”. Nervous system components include the brain, spinal cord, and nerve fibers. This system is responsible for sending and receiving messages both between the brain and the body. All body functions are managed by the brain.

2022年3月14日 · Neurotransmitters are your body’s chemical messengers. They carry messages from one nerve cell across a space to the next nerve, muscle or gland cell.

2023年12月21日 · The cell body of a neuron, also known as the soma, is typically located at the center of the dendritic tree in multipolar neurons. It is spherical or polygonal in shape and relatively small, making up one-tenth of the total cell volume.

2021年4月26日 · What is the Cell Body? The cell body (AKA the soma) is one of the three main parts of a nerve cell (or neuron). It’s the rounded, bulbous part of the cell that houses the nucleus, along with other key organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus.

The nervous system includes the brain, the spinal cord, and a complex system of nerves. It uses electrical signals and chemical substances called neurotransmitters for communication across body parts.

2023年7月24日 · Neurons are electrically excitable cells that transmit signals throughout the body. Neurons employ both electrical and chemical components in the transmission of information. Neurons are connected to other neurons at synapses and connected to effector organs or cells at neuroeffector junctions.
