What are the cells that carry out all the control functions for the nervous system?

The cells that carry out all the control functions for the nervous system are called neurons. Neurons transmit information through electrical and chemical signals, facilitating communication between different parts of the body and processing sensory information. They work in conjunction with glial cells, which provide support, nourishment, and protection to neurons, but it is the neurons that are primarily responsible for the control and transmission of signals in the nervous system.
