When a message gets sent to a neuron from the dendrite it goes through the cell body to the tip of the dendrite where it leaps to the next dendrite.

Messages from the neuron always travel from the cell body down the axon.

The part of the neuron that decided if the message will travel to the next neuron or not is the what?

The axon terminal is the part of the nerve responsible for sending the message at all. Not only does it send the message, though, it has branching paths which allow it to determine which path it'll go on.


How your brain and sensory organs get information from the outside world?

Your brain has about 100 billion neurons, all of which are interneurons. Each of these neurons may receive up to 10,000 messages from other neurons and may send messages to about 1,000 more. Every day, billions of nerve impulses travel through your nervous system from neuron to other neurons or body structures. The place where a neuron transfers an impulse to another structure is called a synapse. At the axon tips, electrical signals carried through the neuron change into a chemical form. This change allows the message to cross the gap. The message then continues in electrical from through the next neuron.


Why would a lack of neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?

signals travel from neuron to neuron through neurotranmitters


What circuit types is exemplified by impulses that travel from a single neuron of the brain and activate a hundred or more motor neurons in the spinal cord?

Diverging circuits


How do nerve cell move?

They don't move, they produce electrons which travel through synapses. The nerve cell (or neuron) doesn't move.


What does communication in the nervous system depend on which are electrical impulses that travel from neuron to neuron?

action potentials


What begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment true or false?

From the axon terminal of another neuron, a bunch of chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released and travel across the synapse (junction of two neurons). If enough stimulate the second neuron, the total energy triggers another action potential. Short and simple explanation--message me if you want more info!
