Answer:
neurons are the basic unit of cell.
Explanation:
A neuron (also called neurone or nerve cell) is a cell that carries electrical impulses.[1] Neurons are the basic (functional & structural) units of our nervous system.
Every neuron is made of a cell body (also called soma or cyton), dendrites and an axon.[1] Dendrites and axons are nerve fibers. There are about 86 billion neurons in the human brain, which comprises roughly 10% of all brain cells. Human brain has roughly 16 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex. The neurons are supported by glial cells and astrocytes.
Neurons are connected to one another and tissues. They do not touch each other, instead they form tiny gaps called synapses. These gaps can be chemical synapses or electrical synapses and pass the signal from one neuron to the next.
