The Nervous System

Question 6 • 24 - 25 CR - Biology B (0411KB)

Which function does a neuron perform in a human body?

Answer
A
It generates electrochemical signals so that the body can react to stimuli.
B
It produces antibodies to destroy pathogens for protection purposes.
C
It breaks down chemical substances into a form that is usable by the body.
D
It delivers oxygen to the cells of the body for metabolic processes.

Explanation

Neurons are specialized nerve cells that carry information through electrical impulses and chemical signals. These signals help the body detect stimuli and coordinate a response. Antibodies are produced by immune cells, while breaking down substances and delivering oxygen are functions of other body systems, so A is correct: it generates electrochemical signals so the body can react to stimuli.
