irritability and conductivity
Neurons play an important part in relaying messages throughout the body. The characteristics are dependent on the role of the neuron and its location.
sensory neurons
Sensory Neurons
receive stimuli (irritability), and conduct waves of excitation, or impulses, to all parts of the body (conductivity)
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Afferent Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons.
Motor neurons and intern neurons
One key difference is that neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system that can transmit electrical and chemical signals, while cells from other organ systems have different functions based on their location and characteristics. Neurons have long extensions called axons and dendrites that help in signal transmission, which is unique to them compared to cells from other organ systems.
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
