Electricity excites neurons. This happens because neuronal membranes are population with special type of protein called 'voltage-sensitive ion channels'. These become more permeable to specific ions with electrical current and as a result the cell will become metabolically more active.

What type neuron is found in the ventral root?
This area contains motor neurons that affect the axial muscles.
What is the classification of a neuron when the cell body is located in the CNS and the primary function is connecting other neurons?
A synapse connects one neuron to another (and a neuron to a muscle cell).The axon hillock at the 'end' of the neuron cell body (soma) initiates a firing of the axon of a neuron.An axon terminal at the end of an axon is the first part of a synapse.If this didn't answer your intended question, please compose it better.
How does the shape of an antibody affect its functioning?
The shape of an antibody affects its functioning by changing the way it can absorb nutrients through its body. This can make them more dangerous depending on the shape.
