A single neuron can receive information from many other neurons through hundreds of synapses. The various excitatory and inhibitory inputs are integrated . A single neuron can send information to a number of other neurons through axonal branching. This allows the creation of complex neuronal networks, the subject of your Neuroscience course. Neurons receive information from other neurons and from sensory receptors.
Neurons transmit information to other neurons, to muscle cells, and to gland cells.
This is one way the nervous and endocrine systems are integrated. Interneurons connect one neuron to another. Cell Biology of the Neuron. The neuronal nucleus is usually large, round, contains primarily euchromatin and a prominent nucleolus. These are all features of a cell that is very active metabolically.
