Neurons communicate with other neurons through chemical and electrical signals. When one neuron is activated, it can stimulate adjacent neurons to transmit the signal further along the neural network.
The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters (which are chemical signals consisting of hormones like dopamine and adrenaline) into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers which are chemical signals that propagate an electrical impulse in the receiving cell. Oh biomed. How we love you.
Chemical synapses are much slower to react to stimuli. However chemical synapses transmit a signal with constant strength or even a signal that get stronger. This is called "gain." Electrical synapses are faster but have no "gain," the signal gets weaker as it travels along the synapse to other neurons. Electrical synapses are only used for applications where a reflex must be extremely fast. They are simple and allow for synchronized action. A benefit of electrical synapses is they will transmit signals in both directions. Chemical synapses have many important advantages as well. They are more complex and vary their signal strengths. Their functions are influenced by chemical outputs in the nervous system. Chemical synapses are the most common type.
the difference between both are: Primary transducer:The Mechanical device which converts physical quantity to be measured into a mechanical signal. Secondary tranducer:The Electrical device which converts this mechanical signal to the electrical signal.

yes they do!
The transmission of a nerve message from the fingertips to the brain involves both electrical and chemical transport processes. Initially, the message is transmitted as an electrical signal called an action potential along the nerve cells through a process known as depolarization. Once the signal reaches the synaptic junction between nerve cells, it is converted into a chemical signal in the form of neurotransmitters that cross the synapse to communicate with the next nerve cell in the chain, ultimately reaching the brain.
yes.
A metalloid is a chemical element that has a mixture of both metal and nonmetal characteristics
yes The logic gates AND OR NOT ExOR can be used as gate for electrical signal whether it may D.C value or A.C signal. Both can be processed by a digital circuits . the logic gates are fabricate from cmos transistor. and they perform logical operation on applied signal
The release of 'neurotransmitter substances' from an axon's perifery which traverse the synaptic cleft - the space between axon and adjoining dendrite - to both affect and effect the adjoining dendritic "perifery" which then re-initiates signal propagation to the next bunch of exonic nerve "endings".
They are both very important!!!!
