Question
Chapter 26, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons work together as an insect move toward a chemical stimulus.
Concept introduction:
The neuron is a basic functional unit of nervous system and is the specialized cells of nervous system that makes a complex network for the transmission of messages. It is rapid and efficient network of nervous system. A neuron involves a cell body, nerve fibers: dendrites and an axon in its structure.
