Ca ions bind to their binding sites that in turn allows Na ions to flood into the cell body and cause depolarization. this will continue down the cells axon until it bombardes the next cell with synaptic input
The axon is the conducting part of the neuron. It conducts the impulse from the cell body to the terminals, where ion channels open in response to the impulse, mediators are activated, neurotransmitter crosses synapse and attaches at the post-synaptic membrane, opening the ion channels there and depolarizing the cell, and propagating the impulse towards another cell body via the post-synaptic cell's axon.
A sub-threshold change in membrane potential in the cell body, such as an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP), does not reach the threshold for action potential initiation. As it travels along the dendrites and cell body, it decays and dissipates, failing to trigger an action potential. This phenomenon is crucial in the integration of signals by neurons.
The axon is a single process extending from the axon hillock, sometimes covered by a fatty layer called a myelin sheath that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body of the neuron.Distal tips of axons are telodendria, each of which terminates in a synaptic knob.
Synaptic vesicles are typically located at the ends of axons, specifically within the axon terminals. Dendrites do not contain synaptic vesicles; they receive signals from axon terminals and transmit those signals towards the cell body.
The dendrites are the structures in a neuron that receive information from other nerve cells. They are like branches extending from the cell body and are covered in synapses where neurotransmitters are received from other neurons.
If we don't use our synaptic system that leads to short term potentiation i.e short term memory. short term and long term memory depends on maintenance of synaptic potentiation. so if we don't use our synaptic system no new nerve cell for saving info will not be generated.
Chemically Gated Channels.
Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles that generate energy in the form of ATP for the cell. Synaptic vesicles are small vesicles in nerve terminals that store and release neurotransmitters, allowing for communication between neurons at synapses.
The axon is a long, slender projection that carries electrical impulses away from the cell body. The axonal terminal, or synaptic knob, is the end of the axon that forms a synapse with another neuron or target cell. The synaptic knob contains neurotransmitter vesicles that are released into the synapse to communicate with the next cell.
Protein molecules on the post-synaptic cell membrane form receptor sites that bind with neurotransmitters released from the pre-synaptic neuron. This binding triggers downstream signaling pathways within the post-synaptic cell, leading to various cellular responses.
The axon is the conducting part of the neuron. It conducts the impulse from the cell body to the terminals, where ion channels open in response to the impulse, mediators are activated, neurotransmitter crosses synapse and attaches at the post-synaptic membrane, opening the ion channels there and depolarizing the cell, and propagating the impulse towards another cell body via the post-synaptic cell's axon.
The synaptic transmission is where the communication between the terminal button and the dendrite occur. What happens is the impulse moves along the axon and release neurotransmitter from the end plate of the presynaptic neuron and are diffused across the synaptic cleft. This creates a depolarization of the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron. When that happens the postsynaptic's sodium channels to open and start the action potential. Once the channels are open an enzyme called cholinesterase is released from postsynaptic membrane and it acts to destroy the neurotransmitters. When they are destroyed the sodium channels close and begins recovery.

As it travels along the dendrites and cell body, it decays and dissipates, failing to trigger an action potential. This phenomenon is crucial in the integration of signals by neurons.
the impulse starts at the dendrites which is located near the cell body and ends at the synaptic terminals which are at the end of the axon.

The cell body, called the SOMA, is the main part of the neuron. It is the main metabolic center or region of the neuron. The neuron has 3 parts: DENDRITES (inputs), SOMA (cell body), and AXON (output). The axon is the part which FIRES when sufficient inputs reach it at the axon hillock.
Neurotransmitters are formed in the cell body and transported to the axon terminal by Axonic flow of the cytoplasm via axon
