The nervous system is composed of more than 100 billion neurons connected to each other, through from few hundred to 2,00,000 nerve terminals of each nerve fibers. On one hand you have dendrites and other hand you have axon terminals connected to each other and target organs.Connections between nerve cells are called synapses. A wave of depolarization passes through nerve fibers from dendrite to axon and in synapses you have various type of neurotransmitters. And at muscle end you have motor end plate passing the impulse through neurotransmitters. And you have various types of sensory apparatuses, carrying the appropriate impulse to central nervous system
What else can I help you with?
How do nerve cells grow?
Nerve cells grow through a process called neurogenesis, where they divide and differentiate from precursor cells. This process is regulated by various growth factors and signals in the body's environment. Nerve cells also have the unique ability to form connections with other nerve cells, called synapses, allowing them to communicate and transmit information in the nervous system.
How do nerve cells communicate with each other to transmit signals within the body?
Nerve cells communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical impulse down its length. At the end of the cell, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, a small gap between nerve cells. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the neighboring cell, triggering a new electrical impulse and continuing the signal transmission.
Nerve cell does not conduct electricity?
Actually, nerve cells do conduct electricity through the movement of ions across their cell membrane. This allows them to transmit signals, known as action potentials, along their length to communicate with other nerve cells or other cells in the body.
What type of structure would help nerve cells carry out this function?
A network of axons and dendrites, known as a neuronal network, allows nerve cells to communicate effectively by transmitting electrical signals. This interconnected structure enables the transmission of information throughout the nervous system.
How are bone cells and nerve cells different?
Bone cells, also known as osteocytes, are responsible for maintaining bone structure and mineral content. They secrete substances that help regulate bone formation and resorption. Nerve cells, or neurons, conduct electrical impulses and transmit information throughout the body. They have specialized structures, such as dendrites and axons, that allow them to communicate with other nerve cells.
How do the nerve cells communicate?
they go to your brain and the brain takes it from thar
What is the process of a nerve response?
cells in nervous tissue communicate with each other by way of electrical nerve impulses
Do cells talk?
Not in language. Cells communicate with other cells on a rudimentary basis by releasing various chemicals that reflect their condition and functioning. Nerve cells can directly signal other nerve cells, and the sensory or muscle cells they are linked to.
What are the main ways in which cells are able to communicate with each other?
through nerve impulses and hormones

What cells have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials?
Nerve cells or neurons have the ability to respond to stimuli by generating signals such as action potentials. These signals travel along the nerve cells to communicate information within the nervous system.
What cells contain process that receive and generate electrical signals to communicate with other cells?
Neurons are the cells that receive and generate electrical signals to communicate with other cells in the body. They are the primary cells of the nervous system responsible for transmitting information through electrical and chemical signals.
How do eye cells communicate with muscle cells?
The eye cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain, which translates the signal and transmits nerve impulses to the muscles. Information from sensory organs, including the eyes, ears, tongue, and skin, are transmitted by nerve impulses directly to the brain. The brain acting as the control center of the body interprets the nerve impulses. It then sends out different nerve impulses to other cells of the body if a response to the sensory signals is needed.
