Intro to neurons - the communication masters 🚀

What are they?

  • Neurons are like the internet of our body, sending and receiving signals everywhere.
  • They're special cells in the nervous system, carrying electrical impulses.

Real-world example: Imagine you're texting your friend to meet at the mall. Neurons are like those text messages, buzzing back and forth ensuring everyone's on the same page.

Body’s communication systems – dual power 🎤📢

Two Main Systems

  • Endocrine System: Think of this as the snail mail of the body. It uses glands to release messages called hormones. It's a bit slower but delivers essential messages.
  • Nervous System: This is like instant messaging! Quick and snappy, using neurons to send signals. There's a whopping 85 billion of these message senders in the human body!
