HEY MATE....
The neuron (nerve cell) is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The basic purpose of a neuron is to receive incoming information and, based upon that information, send a signal to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Neurons are designed to rapidly send signals across physiologically long distances. They do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of a chemical, or neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter travels rapidly across the short gap between cells (the synapse) and acts to signal the adjacent cell.
The cell bodies of the sensory neurons leading to the spinal cord are located in clusters, the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), next to the spinal cord. Their axon extends in both directions: a peripheral axon to receptors at the periphery and a central axon passing into the spinal cord.

Hy there,
Neurons are found in Brain, Spinal Cord. They are main components of CNS. I should rather say, structural and functional unit of nervous system.
Their function is to transmit nerve impulses from one neuron to other.
The impulse is transmitted from one neuron to other through synapse.
Usually, a neurotransmitter known as Acetylcholine is also released which helps in nerve contraction. Acetylcholine is responsible for Neuromuscular junction to function.
Neurons also have a role in reflex action.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
