Youth Protection Training. Youth Protection training is designed to help you keep our youth safe from abuse. You will learn the Boy Scouts of America's Youth Protection Guidelines, signs of abuse, and how to report suspected abuse. After each section of material, you will answer questions about that section's topic.
1. How Nerve Cells Work Nerve cells process and transmit information by electrical and chemical signalling. Chemical signalling occurs via synapses, in a process known as synaptic transmission. This is a process where the axon terminal of one cell impinges upon a dendrite or soma of another [or less commonly to an axon].
The neuron (nerve cell) is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The basic purpose of a neuron is to receive incoming information and, based upon that information, send a signal to other neurons, muscles, or glands.Neurons are designed to rapidly send signals across physiologically long distances.They do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials.When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of a chemical, or neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter travels rapidly across the short gap between cells (the synapse) and acts to signal the adjacent cell.hey do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials.
