Nerve cells transmit chemical messages that paralyze all muscles in the body except the diaphragm, one small muscle in the ear and the muscles that move the eyes.
Motor nerve cells control muscle movement throughout the body via their long fibers, which transmit signals between the brain and spinal cord and the muscles.
Nerve cells, unlike most cells in the body, do not die and get replaced by new healthy cells.

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease in which specialized nerve cells controlling movement of the voluntary muscles gradually cease functioning and die.
Nerve cells receive input from thousands of other fibers and decide whether to ignore or to transmit on a signal, which in turn influences higher level nerves to fire or not fire.
Serotonin is one of several neurotransmitter chemicals that nerve cells in the brain use in communicating with one another.

Nerve cells and the membranes of all cells work because of an intricate interlacing of the two essential fatty acids.
Explains how nerve cells in a layer of a region of the substantia nigra produce dopamine that enable them to communicate with receptors on neurons in another region of the brain called the striatum.
Neurotransmitters are chemical substances naturally produced within nerve cells used to communicate with each other and send messages to influence and regulate our thinking and all other systems throughout the body.
