    Neurons lie adjacent to each other but are not connected. There is a tiny gap between neurons called a synapse. The function of a neuron is to transmit nerve impulses along the length of an individual neuron and across the synapse into the next neuron. The electrical signals transmitted by neurons are called action potentials. The electrical signal...

    The neuron contains the soma (cell body), which extends the axon (a nerve fiber conducting electrical impulses away from the soma), and dendrites (tree-like structures that receive signals from other neurons). The myelin sheathis an insulating layer that forms around the axon and allows nerve impulses to transmit more rapidly along the axon. Neuron...

    Although there are billions of neurons and vast variations, neurons can be classified into three basic groups depending on their function: sensory neurons (long dendrites and short axons), motor neurons (short dendrites and long axons), and relay neurons (short dendrites and short or long axons).

    Structure of Twaron and Kevlar. The aromatic rings appear as hexagons. The rings are attached alternately to either two NH groups or two CO groups. The attachment points on each ring are diametrically opposite each other, meaning this is classed as a para -aramid. The term aramid is shortened from aromatic polyamide.

  5. Aug 14, 2020 · However, all cells have three main parts, the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The plasma membrane (often called the cell membrane) is a thin flexible barrier that separates the inside of the cell from the environment outside the cell and regulates what can pass in and out of the cell.

  6. The development includes the process of cell differentiation, in which unspecialized cells become specialized in structure and function to perform certain tasks in the body. The development also includes the processes of growth and repair, both of which involve cell differentiation. Growth is the increase in body size.

  7. All cells have a cell membrane that separates the inside and the outside of the cell, and controls what goes in and comes out. The cell membrane surrounds a cell’s cytoplasm, which is a jelly-like substance containing the cell’s parts. Cells contain parts called organelles. Each organelle carries out a specific function in the cell.
