Types of Neurons (Nerve Cells) ... The human body is made up of trillions of cells. Cells of the nervous system, called nerve cells or neurons, are specialized to carry "messages" through an electrochemical process. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons.

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of peripheral axons (the long, slender projections of neurons). A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses that are transmitte...

The brain contains many nerve cells. A reflex arc is a simple example of how nerve cells help to control and coordinate processes in the body. It involves the use of three types of nerve cell. These are the sensory nerve cell, the intermediate (relay) nerve cell and the motor nerve cell.

Many nerve cells are of the basic type illustrated above. Some kind of stimulus triggers an electric discharge of the cell which is analogous to the discharge of a capacitor. This produces an electrical pulse on the order of 50-70 millivolts called an action potential.

This neuromodulation of neuronal function takes place over minutes, hours, and years, causing changes in the actual structure and function of the nerve cell and the growth of new connections between nerve cells (or conceivably the opposite).

The structure and function of individual nerve cells is understood in great detail, perhaps in more detail than for any other type of cell. The function of a neuron is to communicate information, which it does by two methods.
