The root word meaning "nerve" is "neur-" from the Greek word "neuron" meaning sinew or nerve.
Surgical repair of a nerve is neuroplasty. I'm unaware of the feasibility of surgical repair of a single neuron.
The brain and spinal cord; the cerebro-spinal axis; myelencephalon.
Each neuron in the CNS receives input from other neurons through synapses, which are specialized junctions where signals are transmitted from one neuron to another. These synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory, meaning they either increase or decrease the likelihood of the receiving neuron firing an action potential.
The axon knob, also known as the presynaptic terminal, is the end of the axon of a neuron that forms a synapse with another neuron or a muscle or gland cell. It stores and releases neurotransmitters to communicate signals to the target cell.
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
one type of neuron is the motor neuron
A motor or efferent neuron.
a neuron which recieve both messages from afferent and efferent neuron...
