Summary Introduction
To determine:
The difference between a neuron, an axon, and a nerve.
Introduction:
The nervous system is the most complex part of multicellular organisms. It is responsible for the coordination of actions and sensory information by transmitting signals from different parts of its body to the brain and then transmitting signals for actions to the organs.
