THE NERVE CELL Flashcards
the basic unit of nervous system and also called as neurons
nerve cell
Carry impulses towards the cell body
dendrites
Can be grouped together into cable like bundles called nerves
axons
are cells with a special ability to carry signals or impulses thoughts emotions learning and many body functions and carried by nerve impulses in the neurons
neurons
Is a combination of an electrical change and chemical reaction
Nerve impulses
Is sent by neurotransmitters from one neuron to another through a gap called synapse

The space between neurons where electrochemical signal pass
Synapse
Is the length of time between application of a stimulus and direction of a response
