Best Answers

Biggest concentration of Neurons is in CNS (Central nervous system: brain and spine). From the spine ganglions spread into PNS (Peripheral nervous system: All of the body). Ganglions are the clusters of nerves, from which sensory and motor neurons spread to respective organs (Skin, muscles). read more

Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways, but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells. Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the body. read more

In the central nervous system, neurons may survive (depending on neurotrophic support) and sprout after injury. However, axons [the extended wiring part of the neuron forming synaptic connections with distant neurons] cannot regenerate for >1mm without serous clinical consequences. read more

Motor neurons transmit information from the brain to the muscles of the body. Interneurons are responsible for communicating information between different neurons in the body. Neurons vs. Other Cells. Similarities with other cells: Neurons and other body cells both contain a nucleus that holds genetic information. Neurons and other body cells are surrounded by a membrane that protects the cell. read more
