Neurons have specialized structures called synapses where chemical neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals to neighboring neurons. These synapses contain presynaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters, as well as receptor proteins on the postsynaptic membrane that detect and respond to the neurotransmitters. This specialized structure allows for precise and rapid communication between neurons.
Neurons are classified by their structure and function. Structurally, neurons can be categorized as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Functionally, neurons can be classified as excitatory or inhibitory based on the type of signals they transmit.
No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.
Organs that receive or transmit nerve impulses are called neurons. Neurons are specialized cells found in the nervous system that are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.
The dendrites of a neuron receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.

Yes
it transmit impulses to the brain.
Neurotransmitters
They transmit nerve impulses and stimuli.
Glial cells as they are responsible for providing support to the neuron, nourishing, and making sure homeostasis is maintained, thus they do not transmit impulses.

Brain Cells
True
Nerve cells, or neurons, are specialized to receive and transmit electrical impulses throughout the body. They have structures called dendrites that receive signals from other neurons, and an axon that transmits signals to other cells. Neurons have a membrane potential that allows them to generate and transmit electrical impulses known as action potentials.
The nervous system is the system that consists of nerves that transmit impulses back and forth. It is responsible for sending messages between different parts of the body, coordinating movement, and regulating bodily functions.
