Understand that neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.
Recognize that neurons communicate through a combination of electrical and chemical signals.
Identify that the primary method of information transmission within a neuron is through electrical impulses, known as action potentials.
Action potentials are rapid changes in the electrical charge across a neuron's membrane, allowing the signal to travel along the axon.
At the synapse, the electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters, which are chemical signals that transmit the information to the next neuron.
