Question

Why are neurons excitable cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

Membranes of neurons are in a polarized state. Different ions interact with the membrane to change polarization and thus neuron becomes excited. The ability to become polarized or depolarized is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses. Hence, neurons are called excitable cells.
