View Full Document. Neuron - A specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system. Dendrites â In a neuron, the branch-like extensions of the cell body that receive signals from other neurons. Synapse â The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron across the synaptic cleft.
Cells are specialized in their anatomy and physiology to perform different tasks. All cells exhibit a voltage difference across the cell membrane. Nerve cells and muscle cells are excitable. Their cell membrane can produce electrochemical impulses and conduct them along the membrane.In muscle cells, this electric phenomenon is also associated with the contraction of the cell.ells are specialized in their anatomy and physiology to perform different tasks.
