How does the nervous system transmit signals?
The nervous system transmits signals through a complex network of neurons, which communicate via electrical impulses and chemical signals. When a neuron is stimulated, it generates an action potential—an electrical charge that travels along its axon. Once it reaches the end of the axon, neurotransmiRead more
The nervous system transmits signals through a complex network of neurons, which communicate via electrical impulses and chemical signals. When a neuron is stimulated, it generates an action potential—an electrical charge that travels along its axon. Once it reaches the end of the axon, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse (the gap between neurons) and bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, propagating the signal. This intricate process allows for rapid communication throughout the body, enabling everything from reflexes to complex thoughts. 🧠⚡️
