Question

Describe how neurons transmit information.

Answer 1

neurons transmit information from one part to another . a nerve impulse is transported from one neuron to another called synapses,.The exon terminal secreted chemical called neurotransmitter which is bind to their specific receptor

Answer 2

Neuron - transmission of information

Explanation:

• Transmission of information by neurons is done by signaling, conduction and transmission.  
• Signaling is done both intracellular and intercellular to send electrical signals down the axon.
• The receiving ends of neurons or the receptors, dendrites, receive neural impulses from effector cells or the adjacent neurons.
• This information is passed to the soma or the neuron cell body which is then transferred to the axon through the action potential generated.  
• Conduction of the information through the axon takes place through electrical signals generated from ion transfer through the processes of polarization and depolarization
• Neurotransmission takes place through electrical (at electrical synapses) and chemical (at a chemical synapses ) neurotransmission processes.
• Chemical neurotransmission is done by the action of chemical neurotransmitters like acetylcholine.  
• The impulse or information is then from one neuron is transmitted to the other neuron
