PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to the cell body, or soma, which is much like that of other cells, neurons have specialized thin branches know as dendrites and axons. Neurons receive chemical input from other neurons through dendrites and communicate information to other cells through axons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nervous system helps all the parts of the body to communicate with each other. It also reacts to changes both outside and inside the body. The nervous system uses both electrical and chemical means to send and receive messages.

Detailed explanation-3: -At chemical synapses, the information is transferred via the release of a neurotransmitter from one cell that is detected by an adjacent cell1, whereas in the in the case of electrical synapses the cytoplasm of adjacent cells are directly connected by clusters of intercellular channels called gap junctions2.
