An extremely high level of social inhibition is known as Social Anxiety Disorder, though is usually falselyperceived to be the result of a lack of confidence or self esteem.
Function of Electrochemical Impulses: In neurons, cell-to-cell communication is the major role of action potential. In other types of cells, activation of intracellular processes is their major function.
All nerve cells contain a cell body, dendrites (projections that receive signals from other cells), and axons (projections that send signals to other cells). Chemical processes form the electrical impulses within (primarily sodium ion exchanges) and between (via neurotransmitters) cells. Table 2.3.
