The human brain contains billions of nerve cells, also known as neurons. These neurons are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body, enabling communication between different parts of the nervous system. In addition to neurons, the brain is also made up of glial cells, which support and protect the neurons. Together, they form a complex network that underlies all cognitive functions and behaviors.
The human body contains billions of sensory neurons. These specialized nerve cells are responsible for transmitting information about our environment to the central nervous system for processing and interpretation.
The membrane of the eye that contains nerve cells is called the retina. It is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye and is responsible for converting light into neural signals, which are then sent to the brain for processing. The retina contains photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones, which are essential for vision.
The cochlea contains hearing receptor cells called hair cells. These cells convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing.
Myelin sheath is the wrapping produced by some glial cells that contains 80% lipid and 20% protein. It acts as an insulating layer around nerve fibers, speeding up the transmission of electrical signals along the nerve cells.

Perhaps the brain is the answer you seek.
The human body contains billions of sensory neurons. These specialized nerve cells are responsible for transmitting information about our environment to the central nervous system for processing and interpretation.
The epidermis contains several layers of cells, including keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells. It also contains nerve endings, blood vessels, and hair follicles.
Nerve cell
The nervous system contains millions of nerve cells, or neurons. Neurons are highly specialized to transmit messages from one part of the body to another.
The upper layer of the skin is called the 'epidermis'. In birds, it contains no nerve cells, and their Merkel cells are located in the dermis. However, in most animals it contains a scattering of nerve cells called Merkel cells, located at the basal layer. The middle layer of the skin is called the 'dermis.' It contins blood vessels, most of the nerve cells, and other structures. The lower layer of the skin is called the 'sub-cutis' and mostly contains fat.
The membrane of the eye that contains nerve cells is called the retina. It is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye and is responsible for converting light into neural signals, which are then sent to the brain for processing. The retina contains photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones, which are essential for vision.
No. The universe contains billions of galaxies including our own, and each galaxy contains billions of stars.
The human body is composed of billions of cells. Each organ in the body is comprised of thousands of tissues, each of which are formed by thousands of cells.
The cochlea contains hearing receptor cells called hair cells. These cells convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for processing.
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
