What are the function of nerve cell |
| Answer» <html><body><p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p><p>The nervous system - the subject of the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/first-461760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIRST">FIRST</a> part of this book - is composed of nerve cells or neurons. The human <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/brain-903433" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BRAIN">BRAIN</a> contains about 25 billion such nerve cells; it, together with the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/spinal-650327" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SPINAL">SPINAL</a> cord, constitutes the central nervous system (CNS). Only about 25 million nerve cells lie in the periphery or connect the periphery to the central nervous system. The nerve cells <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/communicate-924555" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMMUNICATE">COMMUNICATE</a> with one another in a variety of ways by synapses, which far outnumber (by about a thousand-fold) the nerve cells. Synaptic contacts are also made with other types of cell, in particular receptors (information-receiving cells - e. g., in the sense organs) and effectors (e.g., the muscle cells). Because receptors and muscle cells have many functional features in common with the nerve cells, they will also be discussed in this part of the book.</p><p></p><h2>please mark brainliest answer </h2></body></html> | |
