A neuron is a type of cell mostly found in the nervous system.
This cell has the function of receiving, translating and sending electric impulses or information.
There are two types of neurons: afferent and efferent.
Afferent neurons are the ones that receive stimulus and send it to the spinal cord or the brain.
Efferent neurons are the ones that send information from the brain to the different parts or organs in the body.

What is the largest cell in the male human body?
Motor Neurons
What type of cell is the longest in the human body?
The longest cells are neurons (nerve cells) with a length of 90cm-100cm linking the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to other parts of the body.
Neuron that brings information from senses to brain?
There are 2 different kinds of neurons within the body. The neurons that carry messages from senses to the brain are called Sensory Neurons while the neurons that cause the brain to make the body react are called Motor, or efferent, neurons.
How many miles are the nerves e human body?
Well, there are 100 billion (100,000,000,000) neurons in the brain alone, that's not including the number of neurons in the spinal cord.
What function type are motor neurons?
motor neurons carry message from inter neurons and transmit it to different parts of the body.
how many nerves in human body?
A nerve is a bundle of individual neurons. There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the human body (about the same number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy), but there are only 214 nerves in the human body.
How neurons are formed in an adult human body?
They aren't. Neurons are brain matter, and those cells don't regrow.
What is the largest type of cell of the human body?
neurons aka nerve cells
The fastest neurons in the human body communicate their messages at?
i think its the speed of light
What is the largest cell in the male human body?
Motor Neurons
What does the nervous system do for the human body?
The neurons in both systems work together to help you think, survive, and change the world around you. The nervous system also senses activity inside of your body!
What is gray matters composed of?
cell body of neurons
What are neurons in body?
Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.
How many peripheral nerves in the body are there?
A nerve is a bundle of individual neurons. There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the human body (about the same number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy), but there are only 214 nerves in the human body.
Where are most neurons in the human body located?
It is said that central nervous system and enteric nervous system contain 1 billion neurons each.
What is the function of cells in the human body?
Nerve cells specialized on transmitting messages from one part of the body to another. Motor neurons send information away from the central nervous system (CNS). Sensory neurons send information toward the CNS. Inter-neurons send information between motor and sensory neurons.
What are in neurons?
Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.
