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.
