Explanation:
Neurons transmit nervous impulses. These cells are composed in general by a cellular body, dendrites that are cytoplasmic extensions that receive stimuli (information) from other cells, and an axon that is a long structure capable of conducting the electrochemical signals. Every neuron forms <em>connections with other neurons</em>. These connections are known as <em>synapsis</em>. As it happens in every synapsis between cells when a presynaptic neuron sends information, a neurotransmitter is released. This molecule is a chemical substance that travels through the synaptic cleft to the junctional area and binds to its receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. This binding produces a depolarization of the cell called an excitatory postsynaptic potential. An action potential is initiated and spreads to the rest of the membrane depolarizing it.
Eating. Your muscles in your arms and mouth use energy to feed itself. Then your body digest the food which also takes energy.
Sleep. When your tired, you don’t have much energy. It is said that you use more energy while your sleeping.
