Learn about synapses, the connections between neurons in the nervous system, and how they transmit signals efficiently on Khan Academy.

Neuronen (oder Nervenzellen) sind spezialisierte Zellen, die elektrische Signale im Körper übertragen und empfangen. Neurone bestehen aus drei Hauptbestandteilen: Dendriten, einen Zellkörper und ein …

Explore the structure and function of neurons, the building blocks of the nervous system, and understand their role in transmitting signals.

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. Learn about the …

There actually are certain neurons where there isn't any gap--electrical synapses connect directly because electrical signals cannot travel through a gap. Chemical synapses need the synaptic cleft so …

Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

Located in the cerebral cortex, these neurons follow specific pathways and their dysfunction can impact reflexes and muscle tone. Understanding their role is key to unraveling the complexities of our …

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. Learn about the …

Chemicals called neurotransmitters transfer information between two neurons separated by a gap. These chemicals pass the information from axon terminal of the first neuron to the dendritic tip of …
