The nervous system

The nervous system is made up of specialized cells, called neurons. There are nearly 100 billion of them in the human brain. The main function of neurons is to transmit a nerve message. Each neuron has a cell body, containing a nucleus, like most cells in our body, many cytoplasmic receptor extensions, dendrites, true antennae, and a particular extension called axon or nerve fiber. It is at the level of this fiber that the nervous message will spread.
