Neurons, or nerve cells that carry nerve impulses, are made up of the cell body, the axon, and several dendrites.
Signals move across the synapse, the place where the axon of one neuron meets the dendrite of another, using chemicals called neurotransmitters.

In contrast to the endocrine system that achieves long-term control via chemical (hormonal) mechanisms, the nervous system relies on more rapid mechanisms of chemical and electrical transmission to propagate signals and commands. The rapid conduction of impulses is essential in allowing the nervous system to mediate short-term and near immediate communication and control between various body systems.
Nerve cells (neurons) are specialized so that at one end there is a flared structure termed the dendrite. At the dendrite, the neuron is able to process chemical signals from other neurons and endocrine hormones. If the signals received at the dendrite end of the neuron are of a sufficient strength, and properly timed, they are transformed into action potentials that sweep down the neural cell body (axon) from the dendrite end to the other end of the neuron
