* It conducts electric current * it has axons, dendrites, and some also have myelinated fiber. None of the other cells have these parts. * It does not go through cell division.(Meaning if you lose it, you can't get it back) * Sends signal directly to where it is needed.

The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are conduction impulses and communicating with each other. These stimuli can be touch, sound, light, taste, and smell.
In what ways are neurons similar to cell and different?
cells are the building blocks of life, neurons are specific cells that send and receive motor messages that tell us to do simple things like walk, or blink
What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurons or association neurons.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
How does the particular structure of a neuron relate to its function in the body?
the axon is used for intracellular information transfer, while the dendrite is used to receive information from other neurons, and the synapse allows signal transmission to other neuron in the organ.
Are lysosomes unique to neurons?
No, lysosomes are not unique to neurons. They are found in many types of animal cells.
How do you spell unique in different ways?
There are NO different ways. Unique is UNIQUE !
How do sensory neurons and motor neurons act in opposite ways?
Sensory neurons carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and the spinal cord . Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands.
Why is the mind so complex?
The mind is composed of neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. There are billions of neurons in a cubic inch of brain matter. These neurons can form connections with any number of other neurons in trillions of different ways. That is complex, so the mind is complex.
What is organelle is unique to neurons that consists of rough ER that is compartmentalized into dark-staining regions?
Nissl bodies
How the unique structure of neuron relates to its function in the body?
The unique structure of a neuron is optimized to allow it to transfer information intracellularly from one part of the cell to another and intercellularly between cells. The three structural elements unique to neurons are the axon, which is used for intracellular information transfer, the dendrite, which is the site often used to receive information from other neurons, and the synapse, which allow them to transmit signals to other neurons in the organism.[2] Neurons also contain a cell body or soma which contains the cell nucleus and other organelles which are required for normal cell functioning.
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are conduction impulses and communicating with each other. These stimuli can be touch, sound, light, taste, and smell.
