Question
Our body contains a large number of cells ‘L’ which are the longest cells in the body. L has long and short branches called ‘M’ and ‘N’ respectively. There is a gap ‘O’ between two ‘L’ cells, through which nerve impulse transfer by the release of chemical substance ‘P’.
(i) Name the cells L?
(ii) What are M and N?
(iii) What is the gap O?
(iv) Name the chemical substance P?
