what is neuron? and what is synapse?
Answers
Answer:
Neurons (also called neurones or nerve cells) are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to our muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.
(1) Chemical synapse : the junction between neurons such that the nerve impulse is transmitted from a neuron to another neuron or to a muscle cell or gland cell. (2) Electrical synapse : the gap junction between two apposed neurons that allows faster nerve transmission.
Answer:
A neurone is a nerve cell that is specialised to transmit information throughout the body. These are fundamental units of nervous system.
synapse is the junction between neurons such that the nerve impulse is transmitted from a neuron to another neuron or to a muscle cell or gland cell.
