Neuron...I'm not a student but have had a trapped nerve for two months, got an appointment to see a clinical neurophysiologist! I'll be an expert by the time I get treatment.

Neurons are a major class of cells in the nervous system. Neurons are sometimes called nerve cells, though this term is technically imprecise, as many neurons do not form nerves. In vertebrates, neurons are found in the brain, the spinal cord and in the nerves and ganglia of the peripheral nervous system. Their main role is to process and transmit information. Neurons have excitable membranes, which allow them to generate and propagate electrical impulses.
Many neurons are highly specialized, and they differ widely in appearance. Neurons have cellular extensions known as processes which they use to send and receive information. Neurons are typically 4 to 100 micrometres in diameter, the size varies depending on the type of neuron and the species it is from.
