While the four system approach to negligence is helpful in identifying whether or not an injury warrants legal action, it does fail to distinguish between two distinctly important concepts in the cause/effect relationship of negligence: factual causation vs. proximate cause. Factual and Proximate Cause
Types of Neurons (Nerve Cells). The human body is made up of trillions of cells. Cells of the nervous system, called nerve cells or neurons, are specialized to carry messages through an electrochemical process. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons.To learn how neurons carry messages, read about the action potential.owever, neurons differ from other cells in the body because: 1  Neurons have specialize cell parts called dendrites and axons. 2  Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. 3  Neurons contain some specialized structures (for example, synapses) and chemicals (for example, neurotransmitters).
Here is a schematic drawing of a typical nerve cell. All neurons have a cell body (or SOMA) which contains cellular organelles which are typical of most of the cells in the body, including a nucleus, a nucleolus, lots of rough endoplasmic reticulum, and so on.
