Neuron+-+RC

You pick up the phone and dial down your friend’s phone number as it rings on the other end. You wonder about how the messages are send back and forth with every word you say, along with everything everyone else in the world who is on a phone. Then you realize that neurons act the same way. Neurons send messages from places in and outside the body to your brain where the brain categorizes the information. You think about how you accidentally touch the stove in your kitchen and in a split second you take your hand away because the message was already send and the brain had already categorized it as dangerous then sent the message back to that place in your body where you pick your hand up to not burn yourself. To think that the message is sent categorized and sent back to the spot in milliseconds! without neurons your hand would still be on that stove probably burning your skin. then you think about why it was created where it was made what else it does and how it sends the signal. you finally reach you friend and forgot what you were going to say so instead you just tell him about neurons.
 * introduction**

=The Importance of a Neuron=

the neuron is important because it sends signals through the body for example, like a phone the neuron sends almost electric like signals from one neuron to the other. The neuron is like if you called a friend and they call another friend and so on.

The neuron is needed to move see hear smell taste feel this is because neurons are everywhere in your body. If you didn't have neurons, you would be in danger you could touch something that might start burning you, you wouldn't see hear or even feel it.

without neurons we would be as good as dead. Could you imagine the world. A world of motionless people not being able to escape their own minds. Not being able to express or survive at all. That is the importance of the neuron. =How my Cell Does Its Job=

The neuron is structured to send signals. For example in the ear you have receptors( which hear the information from the outside of your body). Then sends the message to your sensory neurons, which are like wires from a microphone to the amp. The next stage of the signals journey is the inter-neuron (Which finally sends the info to the brain). Then sends the signal to the motor neuron,( which is the neuron the moves your muscles). This is the diagram of a basic neuron.

=What Does my Cell Do=

My cell the neuron sends signals to and from the brain telling you what to do and getting information from the outside to the inside, as a result you do what you thought you were suppose to do. Just as like chapter two when it tells you how they work like microphones, wires, and amps, but then again considering how many different types neurons you have in your body, the amp explanation way just a basic understanding of the power of the neuron.

the neuron also has these other parts of itself shown in the diagram above in chapter two. Such as the axon,( the small connector of the soma and the myelin sheath) myelin sheath( the bead like parts on the thread like part, the schwann cell (the small darker dot on the myelin sheath), soma (the beginning of the dendrites), node of ranvier( the actual thread like wire), and the little ends the dendrites then there are the axon terminal( the opposite side of the dendrites ) and the nucleus( the brain of the cell. All cells have a nucleus)they are basic parts of a neuron.

Lastly the neuron is used for the senses such as sight, taste,smell, touch, and hearing. there are specific neurons. Then there are dozens of others like receptors in the ears and then some wiring into the brain and more in the brain. there are the muscle neurons basically there are tons of neurons.

=Where Are They Created=

They are created in the rich part of your brain after being born inside your brain the travel to the spot where they were meant to be. after that they eventually die like all living things and then are replaced again until the brain stops working and after that they all die.

They are created in the brain where lots of the neurons are stationed and then are sent to the part where they send the rest of their lives helping send signals from different parts your body. finally dying and being replaced by a new neuron. then eventually you die and the signals stop working. = they are used after to replace the old neurons. =

=How Does my Cell The Neuron Act Like Wires=

the neuron sends signals by using a small impulse called the chemical carrying impulses they do this by sending the “CCI” from small thread like thing. this “thing” is called the dendrites they send the signal from one neuron to another. that is kind of like using the microphone and having the wires send signals to the speakers to amplify the sound. but without the signals the neuron wouldn't be able to be useful to the body.

this is a diagram of the neuron sending the chemical carrying impulse

**conclusion** Basically the neuron will send the signals from the different parts of the body or other neurons. Its kind of like when you call someone on a wired phone and the electric power lines send the signal

you finally put the phone down and take a deep breath, neurons are interesting! the way they send messages in seconds! without them, I would probably be in a lot of trouble! I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning, Literally it would impossible! its so cool the way they are born in the brain and how they send signals by chemical carrying impulse and how it just connects to other neurons to send the signals let alone the way they look like threads that are loosely (and poorly ) tied. neurons are so cool i'm gonna do further research on them! =References=
