Question

The flow of information within a neuron is ________, whereas the flow of information between neurons is ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The flow of information within a neuron is intracellular signalling whereas the flow of information between neuron is inter cellular signalling.

Explanation:

• Central nervous system consist of 2 types of cell that are neurons and glia where neurons are the information processing structure in Central nervous system.

• A typical neuron consists of 4 parts called- cell body,processes,dendrite and axons.

• Cell body is the metabolic controlling center and from cell body, processes structure is extended which conduct signal flow to or away from the cell body.

• Dendrites receive the incoming signals and the outgoing signals to the other neurons are flow along with the help of axons.

• Neurons have an unique features  of intracellular and inter cellular signalling.

• Intracellular signalling is proceed within the cells and inter cellular signalling is is transmitted between the cells.

• The communication that is generated between the neurons are achieved by synapses.This process is called as neurotransmitter.
