Nervous and Endocrine Systems: Cells, Hormones, and Plant Responses
Neurons and the Nervous System
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit nervous impulses. Their filamentous structure, with characteristic extensions, allows them to connect to other neurons or organs. The extensions of neurons form fibers, which are grouped into bundles. Several of these bundles, in turn, form nerves.
Neuron Structure
- Cell body: Contains the nucleus and part of the cytoplasm.
- Axon: A long extension, branched at its end, that conducts the nerve impulse to another neuron or organ.

Key Network Protocols Explained
4. ARP Protocol Functionality
The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is crucial for TCP/IP networks. It resolves IP addresses to physical MAC addresses, enabling communication on Ethernet networks. A machine needs both the MAC and IP address to send a message. If the MAC address is unknown, a broadcast message is sent, and the owner of the IP address responds with its MAC address.
