Practice Question

How do neurons communicate with each other?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Through electrical and chemical signals

Rationale:

⚡Neurons transmit electrical signals along their axons via action potentials.

🧪At the synapse, these electrical impulses trigger the release of chemical neurotransmitters, facilitating signal transmission to adjacent neurons.

🔗This dual mechanism allows for rapid and flexible communication, essential for proper nervous system function.

🧠Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the next neuron, converting the chemical signal back into an electrical one, continuing the process.

📌Core Message

Neurons use electrical impulses to carry signals and chemical neurotransmitters to relay them across synapses.
