How do nerves in the human body transmit information?

Question

Please no idiotic remarks.

Answer 1

Nerves transmit the information (action potentials) in the form of rapidly moving electrical waves which travel through the neuron (nerve cell) starting at the cell body portion and moving through the axon to the terminus (tip of the nerve cell). The signal is then transfered from one nerve cell to another nerve cell by traveling through the synapse (gap between axons of the nerve cells) to the axon of another nerve cell. Information will be transferred from nerve cell to nerve cell in this matter until it reaches the brain, or vice versa.

Answer 2

Step 1. The neurotransmitter is manufactured by the neuron and stored in vesicles at the axon terminal.
Step 2. When the action potential reaches the axon terminal, it causes the vesicles to release the neurotransmitter molecules into the synaptic cleft.
Step 3. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the cleft and binds to receptors on the post-synaptic cell.
Step 4. The activated receptors cause changes in the activity of the post-synaptic neuron.

Step 5. The neurotransmitter molecules are released from the receptors and diffuse back into the synaptic cleft.

Step 6. The Neurotransmitter is re-absorbed by the post synaptic neuron. This process is known as Reuptake.

Answer 3

through electric impulses that cause chemical changes between neurons
