neuron = cell body + dendrites + axons
nerve = axon + schwann cells (peripheral nervous system only)
equivalent term of nerve in the central nervous system is called tracts
neuron is a type of cell
nerve is an anatomical term

What does a Neurone cell do?
A neurone is a nerve cell, they allow you to feel pain.
What is the job for the nucleus in a nerve cell?
It depends what part of the cell body you are talking about. The cell body of the nerve cell is the nerve cell. There is no difference between the two. Also, it depends what nerve cell you are talking about, it could be either a relay neurone, a motor neurone or a sensory neurone. The cell body of each is completely different.
What is the name of the nerve cell between the receptor cell and the central nervous system?
SENSORY NEURONE
What type of nerve cell is bipolar and unipolar?
they are mottor neurone nad sensory neurone
What is a relay nerve cells?
Interneuron (relay neurone) Relays messages from sensory neurone to motor neurone. which make up the brain and spinal cord
What is the basic cell of the nervous system?
Neurone or nerve cell
What does neurone mean?
The definition of the word neuron is "a specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell."
Where does the nerve impulse travel from the reflex arc?
The nerve impulse travels through the reflex arc. It travels from the sensor through the sensory neurone, through the spinal cord and motor neurone to the effector muscle.
What is the nerve that connects the brain to the skin?
its the sensory neurone ... silly ;D
Basic unit of nervous system?
Neuron
What is it when nerve impulses are interrupted and muscles don't react?
This can be caused by inhibitor molecules known as neurotoxins occupying the active sites of the receptor molecules of the postsynaptic neurone membrane, this prevents an action potential from being carried from the presynaptic neurone to the postsynaptic neurone, thus preventing the passage of a nerve impulse and consequental muscular contractions that produce an effect to stimuli
What does a interconnecting neurone do?
Are the nuerones that pass nerve impulses from sensory neurons to the motor neurons.
