neurons

     

Neurons (IPA: /njˈɒɹɒns/, also known as neurones an nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. Neurons are the core components of the brain, and spinal cord in vertebrates and ventral nerve cord in invertebrates, and peripheral nerves.

Trivia about neurons

  • Ganglia, gorups of cell bodies of these nerve cells, are outside the vertebrate central nervous system
  • In the nervous system, calcium ions crossing the gap between these cause a release of acetylcholine
  • The adult human brain is made up of more than 10 billion of these nerve cells
  • There are over 10 billion of these cells in the brain, each part of the brain having its own type
  • Helped by axons & dendrites, nerve cells called these conduct impulses around the body
  • These brain cells that transmit nerve impulses number in the billions
