How does a signal move through a neuron?
A signal moves through a neuron by traveling along the axon, which is a long, thin extension of the neuron. The signal is transmitted as an electrical impulse called an action potential. When the signal reaches the end of the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters, which then carry the signal to the next neuron.
How does a signal travel through a neuron and what processes are involved in its transmission?
A signal travels through a neuron by first being received at the dendrites, then passing through the cell body and down the axon as an electrical impulse. At the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse to transmit the signal to the next neuron. This process involves a combination of electrical and chemical signaling within the neuron.
How does the nervous system send messages?
The nervous system sends messages through electrochemical signals. When a nerve cell (neuron) is stimulated, it generates an electrical impulse that travels along the neuron. At the end of the neuron, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, where they trigger a response in the next neuron in the circuit.
what are the differences between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neuron?
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.
How does information flow through a neuron in the human brain?
Information flows through a neuron in the human brain through a process called synaptic transmission. When a neuron receives a signal, it generates an electrical impulse that travels down its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, causing it to generate its own electrical impulse and continue the flow of information.
What travels through the neuron?
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
What is the entire series of events through a three-neuron loop?
In a three-neuron loop, the first neuron sends a signal to the second neuron via a synapse. The second neuron processes the signal and sends it to the third neuron through another synapse. Finally, the third neuron integrates the signal and produces a response or transmits it further in the neural network.
Why is a neuron called an interneuron?
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
What is the basic unit of the nervous system that facilitates nerve impulses through the body?
Neuron
Which part of a neuron transports information from the neuron to other neurons through an electrochemical reaction?
axon
What is the message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
Do neurons have chloroplast in them?
No. Chloroplasts are exclusive to photosynthetic organisms. The function of neuron is unrelated to photosynthesis.
What is a message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
In what order does a message travel through the neuron?
A message travels through a neuron in the following order: dendrites receive the signal, the signal is passed through the cell body (soma), travels down the axon, and finally reaches the synaptic terminals where it is transmitted to the next neuron.

Where do the waste products go after passing through a neuron?
They don't really go through the neuron but out of the cell membrane like another wastes do. They are removed by the circulatory system and out through the urinary system.
