Neurons are specialized nerve cells that receive and transmit electrochemical signals. These signals carry information between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body, allowing the body to detect and respond to stimuli. Antibodies are made by immune cells, oxygen is carried mainly by red blood cells, and digestion is performed by the digestive system.
