Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

A neuron is a specialized cell in the nervous system that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. It consists of a cell body, dendrites (receivers of signals), and an axon (transmitter of signals). Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical impulses called action potentials across synapses, which are tiny gaps between neurons, using neurotransmitters. They play a crucial role in processing and transmitting information in the nervous system, enabling functions like thinking, sensing, and controlling bodily movements.
