PROPERTIES OF NEURONS: CAN BE REFFERED TO AS A NERVE CELL OR NERVE
FIBER.
3 PROPERTIES THAT ENABLE COMMUNICATION:
1. EXCITABILITY- respond to stimuli.
2. CONDUCTIVITY- produce electrical signals.
3. SECRETION- secrete neurotransmitters.
3 CLASSES BASED ON THE TYPE OF SIGNAL:
1) SENSORY- transmit stimulus from body to CNS.
2) MOTOR- Stimulus from CNS to body.
3) INTERNEURONS- remains within CNS & is responsible for storage/processing of info.
