what do you call a ordinary body cell? the most cells are determined on a single propose. They have different rezecptors, membranproteins and so on. So a neuron is special, but all cells are special.

Neurons are similar to cells in many ways. However, unlike cells, neurons have extensions known as dendrites and axons, that enable communication through an electro-chemical process that can send nerve impulses or physical actions. Neurons possess chemicals known as neurotransmitters and synapses, which are specialized structures.

A neuron is an electrically charged molecule in an atom. This applies to chemistry. A cell is the basic building block of living things. This applies to Biology. You may have meant nucleus in which case the nucleus is the nerve center of the cell not a cell itself. All in all if this is homework help you had better get studying.

It gives off electric signal. It does not replenish itself(meaning there are limited amounts of them)

Which neuron receives information?

actually we must say all neurons receive information. there are three types of neurons: 1.sensory neuron 2.motor neuron 3.relay neuron the sensory neurons receive information from receptor cells in sense organs and pass the information from sensory neuron to the other and pass the info to spinal cord where they are received by relay neuron. this neuron in turn passes the info to motor neurons which pass the info to cells in effectors and action is performed.relay neurons are messengers between sensory neuron and motor neuron in spinal cord.
