Question

Describe the process of action potential conduction and neurotransmission from one neuron to another, both electrically (including saltatory conduction) and chemically. Describe how a cell fires an action potential and be sure to address which structures are involved in neurotransmission. Discuss reuptake and enzymatic degradation (breakdown) in the context of the appropriate neurotransmitters.

Answer 1

Answer:

neurons are able to communicate through electrical impulses for example when a stimulus is detected the receptor cells transfer electrical impulses to the sensory neurons which is passed onto the relay neurons in the central nervous system and relayed to the motor neurons. the motor neurons travel with the electrical impulses which are transferred to the effectors to cause a response. However neurons travel and commu icate through synapses
