Answer 2

Answer:

The “structural and functional unit” of nervous system is Neuron.

Explanation:

• The neuron is a single nerve cell and human body consists of billons.
• There are ‘three basic types’ of neurons are present: association, afferent, and efferent.  
• The nervous system consists of billions of neurons which give the brain shape or structure along with glial cells, hence called structural units.
• Coordination and control, i.e. transmission of signal, generation of impulses and propagation are all made simple by neurons, so it is called functional unit.
