The Types and Function of Neurons. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system (the sensory and motor neurons), and the autonomic nervous system (which regulates body processes such as digestion and heart rate).
Neurons and electrochemical transmission. The bodyâs ability to transmit electrical signals relies on a special type of cell called a neuron. As weâll see, neural communication actually involves both electrical and chemicalâor electrochemicalâcommunication. To understand this process, there are five parts of the neuron that youâll need to know: The dendrites, soma, axon, axon hillock, and terminal buttons, as shown in Figure 12.1.
