Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system that transmit and receive messages through electrochemical impulses from one part of the body to another. First neurons receive the messages through the dendrites then next, the Neurons process the information through signals. There are two types of neuron processes electrical and chemical. Only when a neuron receives enough signals from another neuron through the dendrites, the neuron will then undergo a rapid change known as the action potential or nerve impulses. Once the action potential has occurred, this chemical interaction of the neurons will travel down the axon to the end which is known as the terminal
