Expert Solution
Step 1

Neurons can be defined as the brain cells that are the largest cells of the body, and these neurons are principally accountable for sending impulses from the body to the brain and vice versa.

The nerve impulses are carried by the neurons from the stimulated organ or tissues to the brain, and further, these impulses are processed by the brain to generate the appropriate response.
