Describe the process of nerve transmission
What will be an ideal response?
The dendrites are multiple branches at the beginning of a neuron that receive a neurotransmitter from the previous neuron, convert it to an electrical impulse, and send it to the cell body. The cell body contains the nucleus that directs cellular activities, produces neurotransmitters, and provides energy for the cell. The cell body sends the electrical impulse to the axon, a single, elongated branch at the end of the neuron. There is a space called a synapse between the axon and the dendrites of the next neuron. A chemical neurotransmitter allows the electrical message to be transmitted across the synapse.
