    The neuron is the basic functional unit of the nervous system that transmits electrical and chemical signals throughout the body. Neurons are composed of a cell body containing the nucleus, dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and a long axon that transmits signals to other cells. There are different types of neurons that serve different functions, such as sensory neurons that transmit signals to the brain, motor neurons that carry signals from the brain to muscles and glands, and multipolar, bipolar, and unipolar neurons with different numbers of dendrites and axons.

    NEURONALSTRUCTURE
    The brain is made up of approximately
    100 billion nerve cells, known as
    neurons. Neurons have the incredible
    ability

    to
