Question

what is nerve cell give its characteristic

Answer 1

Neurons are highly specialized nerve cells that generate and conduct nerve impulses. A typical neuron consists of dendrites, the cell body, and an axon. Dendritesare responsible for responding to stimuli; they receive incoming signals towards the cell body

Answer 2

Nerve cells are the primary cells in the nervous system. They are responsible for relaying electrical messages to cells and tissues in other organ systems.

1)excitability

respond to environmental changes (stimuli); occurs at receptors

2)conductivity

neurons produce electrical signals that are quickly conducted to other cells at distant locations

3)secretion

when electrical signal reaches the end of a nerve fiber, the neuron secretes a chemical neurotransmitter that crosses the gap and stimulates the next cell
