Describe how neurons transmit information?

Neurons transmit information with the help of its dendrites, axon, soma and terminal buttons by converting stimuli into electrical impulses. This is done by the following method:

• Dendrites receive the incoming neural impulses, from adjacent neurons or directly from the sense organs, in electrochemical form.

• The nerve impulse is then passed on to the soma that is the main body of the neuron.

• From soma, impulse passes on to the axon.

• The axon transmits the information/impulse along its length to terminal buttons.

• The terminal buttons transmit the information to another neuron, gland and muscle.
