Nerves transmit messages by using chemical messengers called neurotransmitter. Some you may have heard of are acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Basically, an electrical impulse travels down a nerve starting at the dendrite, moving through the cell body, and finally to the axon. At the axon special receptors sense the electrical impulse and use voltage gated Calcium channels to release neurotransmitters across the synapse. In the synapse, the neurotransmitters travels to the next adjacent neuron where special receptors on its surface "pick up" the neurotransmitter, this caused a second electrical impulse, called an action potential, to be generated starting up the whole process again..

What else can I help you with?
Does circulatory system carry signals throughout the body?
No, the circulatory system carries blood, nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body. Signals are carried through the nervous system, which uses electrical and chemical signals to transmit information.
What tissue transmits electrical signals?
neurons
What carries messages to your muscles and glands?
Your nervous system carries electric signals from your brain trough out your body.
The somatic nervous system carries signals to?
The somatic nervous system carries signals to the skeletal muscles in the body, allowing for voluntary movements and sensory perception. It is responsible for coordinating conscious activities such as walking, talking, and grasping objects.
How many nerves are in the nervous system?
There are billions of nerves in the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body.
What is the system that carries electrical signals from your brain and spinal cord?
The system that carries electrical signals from your brain and spinal cord is called the nervous system. Specifically, the signals are transmitted through specialized cells called neurons, which make up the communication network of the body.
What nervous system carries brain and spinal cord signals to other organs?
It is the central nervous system
Which organ system carries signals around the body?
They sympathetic and para sympathetic nervous system.
Which system is associated with transmission of impulse to the muscles?
The Central nervous systme sends impulses to the peripheral nervous system which in turn carries signals to the muscles.
What do you call tissue that carries messages throughout your body?
The nervous system.
Which body system carries messages from receptors to centers for interpretations?
The nervous system carries messages from receptors to centers for interpretation. Sensory receptors detect stimuli and send signals to the brain and spinal cord for processing and response.
What system in the body carries information from the glands and organs to the brain?
The nervous system carries information from the glands and organs to the brain. This communication is often facilitated by the peripheral nervous system, which includes sensory nerves that send signals to the brain for interpretation and response.
