um. the cell body is called the soma. the business end is the terminal
What name is given to the basic units of which all living things are composed?
Cells are what make up Tissue.
I have no idea what you mean with "functional unit". The SI has units to measure lots of different things; basically there are seven base units (such as the meter, the second, and the kilogram), and several dozen derived units, i.e., units derived from the base units, for example meters/second for speed.
Biologically the answer is cell since a group of cells working together for a purpose is reffered to as a tissue. Since you are asking for the smallest level, phisically, it can also be atoms.
nucleotides
Tissue.
The nervous system gathers information from the external environment, stores and processes it, and initiates the appropriate responses.__________________________________excuse me, i think he / she wasn't asking about what the nervous system is but what isThe functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron.
Cells are the basic functional units of living things. A groups of cells together forms a tissue. A group of tissues together forms an organ.
The basic structural and functional units of organisms are cells.
Nervous tissue is made up of specialized units called nerve cells, or neurons. They detect different types of stimuli in the body.

Why are nephrons considered the structeral and functional units of the kidney?
Genes are the functional units of heredity.
