Summary Introduction

Introduction: The neurons are the functional units of the nerves, which pass information from one nerve ending to other nerves that finally reach the brain to initiate an action. The neurons are made up of dendrites and axon, which are the nerve fibers. The dendrites are branched, which receives the information and passes to other neurons.
