PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When neurons communicate, an electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the axon into the synapse. The neurotransmitters cross the synapse and bind to special molecules on the other side, called receptors. Receptors are located on the dendrites. Receptors receive and process the message.

Detailed explanation-2: -The axon ends in short sending branches called terminal branches that send messages to other neurons. Knobs on the ends of the terminal branches contain vesicles (small sacs) that store and release chemical messenger molecules called neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body. These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons talk to each other using special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are like chemical words, sending “messages” from one neuron to another.
