Neurons transmit information using the sodium/potassium channels. Basically the influx of these ions across the membrane causes the voltage to increase from its resting potential and this transmits a signal through neuron cells.
These cells can be myelinated or unmyelinated. Myelinated cells just mean it has a protective sheath covering it. (Schwann cells). There are gaps between these cells which causes this electrical signal to "jump" from node to node. This makes the signal run through the body quicker.
An interesting fact: The brain cells are unmyelinated. This means it needs more energy to transmit information and is actually why your brain is the organ that uses up the most ATP (or energy) in your body. Also, because it is unmyelinated, the brain appears grey - thus "grey matter". Myelinated cells are usually white-ish.
The hypothalamus is part of the brain which secretes hormones telling the pituitary gland when to secrete its hormones.
No only glands secrete hormones
Some neurons secrete hormones
i think the activitity of neoron is to pass the the information from one neuron to another neuron throuh electric signals and lastly it changes in to chemical when it reaches to the another neuron.
Neuron
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
Synaptic Vesicles contain neurotransmitters that travel in as per with potential gradience to transmit information
The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus. Dendrites are extensions of the main cellular body of the neuron called the soma; the impulse is passed on to another neuron at the other end, which is called the axon. Neurons transmit impulses to each other via electro-chemical connections to each other that are known as synapses.

dendrites. Dendrites are specialized structures on a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating information from multiple sources to determine the neuron's response.
Neuron
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
The function Of a neuron is to transmit a signal at a very fast rate.
They transmit nerve impulses and stimuli.
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
the soma, or cell body, of a neuron contains a majority of the cytoplasm. the processes that receive information and those that transmit that information, dendrites and axons respectively, are much thinner and require much less machinery to serve their function.
