The Cell of the Nervous System

The nervous system comprises of two group of cells, glial cells and neurons.
Neurons are responsible for sensing change and communicating with other neurons.
Glial cells work to support, nourish, insulate neurons and remove waste products.

A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous
system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways,
but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells. Neurons are
specialized to transmit information throughout the body.

The human body contains some 100 billion neurons, which form a part of
the nervous tissue (the brain, the spinal cord and the nerves).

Nervous system cells are called neurons. They have three distinct parts, including
a cell body, axon, and dendrites. These parts help them to send and receive
chemical and electrical signals.

Parts of a Nerve Cell

Cell body- The cell body, also called the soma, is the spherical part of the neuron
that contains the nucleus. The cell body connects to the dendrites, which bring
information to the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.

Axon- An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron,
that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or
soma. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and
as bundles they help make up nerves.

Dendrites- Dendrites also dendrons, are branched protoplasmic extensions of a

nerve cell that propagate the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural
cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.

The one who received the message is a form of stimulus.

For communication between neurons to take place, an electrical impulse triggers

the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are released
into the space between the two neurons. This space is called the synapse. ...
Receptors receive and process the message, then send it on to the next neuron.

Cs will travel to the cell.

NCS- this nerve will release a chemical that called Neuro Transmitter.

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. It is

a type of chemical messenger which transmits signals across a chemical synapse,
such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another "target"
neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.

The nervous system is made up of nerves. A nerve is a bundle of nerve cells. A nerve cell that
carries messages is called a neuron (Figure below). The messages carried by neurons are
called nerve impulses. Nerve impulses can travel very quickly because they are electrical
impulses.

Myelin is an insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain
and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath allows
electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells.

One part of cell it releases a New Transmitter signal.
