How the Nervous System Works
... The nervous system receives information about what is happening both inside and outside your body. It also directs the way in which your body responds to this information. In addition, the nervous system helps maintain homeostasis. A stimulus is any change or signal in the environment that can make ...

Neuron
... The function of the synapse is to convert an electrical signal (impulse) from the pre synaptic cell into a chemical signal that acts on the postsynaptic cell. Most synapses transmit information by releasing neurotransmitters. A synapse ( fig.) has the following structure: Fig.(8) Presynaptic axo ...
