The electrically-active cell in nervous tissue
neuron
astrocyte
oligodendrocyte
satellite cell
Because neurons are electrically active, they are referred to as
excitable
amitotic
contractile
nonliving
charged
Neurons are amitotic. This means that they do not
divide
make sounds
die
conduct electricity
