Study Notes

Neuron Functionality

Neurotransmitters act as chemical messengers that convey signals between neurons.
Dendrites are specialized structures that receive incoming neurotransmitter signals and transmit this information to the soma.
The soma processes the received message, determining its significance before forwarding it to the axon.
The axon plays a crucial role in converting chemical signals from the soma into electrical impulses, facilitating communication along the neuron.
The speed of signal transmission through the axon can vary based on the urgency of the message, with more important signals traveling faster to the axon hillock.
