Describehow neurons transmit information?

Neuronstransmit information with the help of its dendrites, axon, soma andterminal buttons by converting stimuli into electrical impulses. Thisis 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.
