Nerves transmit messages by using chemical messengers called neurotransmitter. Some you may have heard of are acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Basically, an electrical impulse travels down a nerve starting at the dendrite, moving through the cell body, and finally to the axon. At the axon special receptors sense the electrical impulse and use voltage gated Calcium channels to release neurotransmitters across the synapse. In the synapse, the neurotransmitters travels to the next adjacent neuron where special receptors on its surface "pick up" the neurotransmitter, this caused a second electrical impulse, called an action potential, to be generated starting up the whole process again..

Electrical and chemical signals carried by Neurons.
Interneurons or associative neurons convey information within the nervous system.
Electric signals.
no the circulatory system carries blood. the nervous system carries signals
The somatic nervous system is associated with the control of body movements. It carries signals to the brain to tell the body how to move.
The nervous system
neurons
There are billions of nerves in the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body.
Your nervous system carries electric signals from your brain trough out your body.
It is the central nervous system
They sympathetic and para sympathetic nervous system.
The Central nervous systme sends impulses to the peripheral nervous system which in turn carries signals to the muscles.
The nervous system.
The nervous system is the central control that sends nerve signals throughout the body for other systems to regulate.
