How does the brain send and receive messages from our body?

The brain sends and receives messages from the body through the nervous system. Nerve cells, or neurons, transmit electrical and chemical signals to communicate information. Sensory neurons carry signals from the body to the brain, while motor neurons send signals from the brain to the muscles and glands.


Where do glands send messages to target cells?

Glands send messages in the form of hormones to target cells through the bloodstream. Hormones are released by glands into the blood where they travel to target cells throughout the body to elicit a specific response. Target cells have specific receptors that recognize and respond to the hormones.


Where do sensory neurons send messages to in the body?

Sensory neurons send messages to the brain and spinal cord in the body.


What is the function of the nerve cells?

The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.


What cell transmits and receive nervous-system signals?

The dendrites collect information from other cells (afferent) or send information to other cells (efferent). The afferent dentrites are stimulated by chmicals from sensory cells. The efferent dentrites send chemical signals to other cells.
