Neuron |How nervous system works|

Cells within the nervous system, called neurons, communicate with each other in unique ways. The neuron is the basic working unit of the brain, a specialized cell designed to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. The brain is what it is because of the structural and functional properties of interconnected neurons. The mammalian brain contains between 100 million and 100 billion neurons, depending on the species. Each mammalian neuron consists of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. three types of neurons 1 Sensory neuron 2 Motor neuron 3 Inter-neuron or associate neuron #StructureOf Neuron #PartsOfNeuron
