The Nervous System: The Neuron (Nerve Cell)

The primary nerve cell, the neuron, is important because it gives the nervous system the ability to communicate with effectors across the entire body. In this video we discuss the structure of neurons and also how they come together to form an entire nerve cell network.

I learned about Neuron and it's structure. The primary cell of the nervous system is the neuron. It allows the nervous system to communicate with the rest of body. Neuron structure are: cell body, Dendrites, axon, axon hillock, Myelin sheaths, nodes of Ranvier and axon terminals. How neurons come together to form a nerve cell network. Message transmission happens at the Synapse ( Synaptic CLeft) which is the junction between one nervous axon terminals and another neuron's Dendrites. Where the two nervous system are connected in the center is this area chemical and electrical neurotransmitters are released and picked up by the dendrites of other nerve cell. As neurons poss information to central nervous system our body then interprets these messages as sights, sound, aromas, and other sensation that allow us observe the world around us.

[tartz_taughtle]

The video taught me about the components of a neuron and how they come together to form the body's nerve cell network.

[raedejesus]

I learned about neuron and their parts and how it functions in our body.

[LucIzu]

I learned about the neuron's structure and the nerve cell's network system.

[itsziel]

I learned about the Neuron and the structure of neuron which are: dendrites, axon, myelin sheaths, nodes of Ranvier and axon terminals.

[bastideasis]

In this video I learned everything about nerve cells and the nervous system and all there functions.

[Kremxy]

Even though they are small, neurons have a lot of components, and I learnt how they work.

[adolfryancalisay]

I learned from the video how communication is established within Neurons, the different divisions of the Nervous system, .

[azryeza]

This video explained what a neuron is. The neuron is the primary cell of the nervous system which allows the system to communicate with the rest of the body. I also learned about the structure of a neuron which consists of Dendrites, Soma, Axons, Axon terminals, Myelin sheaths, and Nodes of Ranvier.

[fitzsauz]

Because it enables communication between the neurological system and the rest of the body, the neuron in the nervous system is a fascinating and important component, I discovered. The neuron's structure enables it to carry messages over comparatively large distances. The Neuron's Cell Body, sometimes referred to as the Soma, is where the cell nucleus is located. The soma is followed by dendrites, which jut out from it like tree branches. The neuron makes use of these to recognize both chemical and electrical inputs. The neuron's axon is located in its middle. The axon, which can grow to a length of a meter, is the longest outgrowth of the soma.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT HELPED ME IN EXAM AND I GOT FULL IN NEURON STRUCTURE EXPLAINATION

[trishanicoleinocencio]

In this video, I learned about what is neurons all about and it’s structured including how it formation, also I learned about nerve impulses the basic currency of the brain, they allow neurons to communicate with each other and information to be processed.

[elyssaashleyaquino]

In this video I learned that the neuron is the primary cell of the nervous system it also allows the nervous system to communicate with the rest of the body, I also learned about the structure of a neuron and a lot more

[jamescarlo]

I learned that the neuron in the nervous system is a fascinating and significant component because it allows communication between the neurological system and the rest of the body. The structure of the neuron allows it to transmit signals across relatively long distances. The cell nucleus is found in the Neuron's Cell Body, which is also known as the Soma. Dendrites, which look like tree branches and protrude from the soma, follow. They are used by the neuron to identify both chemical and electrical inputs. The axon is placed in the center of the neuron. The longest extension of the soma is the axon, which may reach a length of a meter.

hi there i recently had a 2 hour lesson about nerve cells and how they work but i couldn't understand a thing my teacher was saying or explaining but when i saw ur video i understood it immediately so thank you very much keep up with the good videos!!!!

[kristineloreinedelossantos]

In this video, i learned that neuron is the primary cell of the nervous system. I also learned about the structure of nueron which includes cell body, dendrites, axon, myelin sheaths, nodes of ranvier. Then, the synapse. It's where the message transmission happens.

[thuwebhor]

A neuron is a type of cell that transmits information to other nerve cells, muscle cells, or gland cells. Neurons are nerve cells that transmit information from one nerve cell to another in the nervous system. It is the basic working unit of the brain.

[dvlmn]

I learned about neuron and their structure. The neuron is the primary cell of the nervous system. Some of the structures of neurons are the cell body, dendrites, axons, myelin sheaths, nodes of Ranvier, and axon terminals.

[jacvicente]

Neurons (also known as neurones or nerve cells) are the basic components of the brain and nervous system, responsible for absorbing sensory information from the outside world, transmitting motor orders to our muscles, and converting and relaying electrical impulses at every step in between.

[savannahi]

I discovered that the fundamental functional unit of the neurological system is the neuron. It is the basic building block of the nerve cell and consists of a single, sizable cell with dendrites and axons as extensions.
