 NEURONS AND NEUROTRANSMITTERS

NEURON is a cell of the central nervous system that has the ability to receive and
decode information in the form of electrical and chemical signals, transmitting them to
other cells. Neurons are the most important cells, since they are responsible for the
transmission of electrical impulses through the synapse process, which constitutes the
principle of the brain's functioning.

We define NEUROTRANSMITTERS then, as those molecules that send chemical and

electrical information Neurotransmitters determine human behavior, the perception of
our senses and even regulate emotions.

The SYNAPSE is the connection functional between a neuron and a cell (neuron).
Synapse is THE WAY THAT COMMUNICATE AND ORGANIZE THE NEURONS.
Synapses occur in the cortex of the brain where find nerve cells or also called neurons.

PARTS OF THE NEURON:

SOMA (BODY MOBILE):

Is the main part of neuron. Its shape is variable and there energy is produced for the
neuron functioning.

DENTRITES:

They are extensions coming out of different parts of the soma and have the function of
receiving impulses from other neurons and send them to the soma.

AXON:

Is an extension of the soma that spreads in the direction opposite dendrites and has the
function of driving an impulse nervous from the soma or body cell to another neuron.

NODOS OF RANVIER:

Its function is that nerve impulses are move with greater velocity.

SCWANN CELL:

Are glial cells that are found in the nervous system peripheral that accompany the neurons
during their growth and growth.
MYELIN SHEATH:

The myelin is a structure formed by the plasma membranes that surround the axons.

AXON TERMINALS:

Is the extreme part of the axon, which serves to form synapses with other neurons.

EXAMPLE:

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that are responsible for transmitting signals from
one neuron to the next through synapses. They are also found at the axon terminal of
motor neurons, where they stimulate muscle fibers to contract. They and their close
relatives are produced in some glands such as the pituitary and adrenal glands. In this
chapter, we will review some of the most significant neurotran .
