The NHTSA reports that most accidents occur during rush hour, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. And according to the NHTSA, Saturday is the most dangerous day of the week to drive, primarily because there are more cars â and more drunk drivers â on the road than any other day.
A neuron (/ËnjÊÉrÉn/ NYEWR-on or /ËnÊÉrÉn/ NEWR-on, also known as a neurone or nerve cell) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals between neurons occur via specialized connections called synapses.
Neurons & the Nervous System. The human nervous system consists of billions of nerve cells (or neurons)plus supporting (neuroglial) cells. Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells).The nucleus of a neuron is located in the cell body. Extending out from the cell body are processes called dendrites and axons.eurons & the Nervous System.
