When a nerve signal, or impulse, reaches the ends of its axon, it has traveled as an action potential, or a pulse of electricity. However, there is no cellular continuity between one neuron and the next; there is a gap called synapse.
Figure 2.2: Neurons transmit information to other neurons. Information passes from the axon of the presynaptic neuron to the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron. Figure 2.3: The synapse is the site where chemical signals pass between neurons.he neuron has processes called dendrites that receive signals and an axon that transmits signals to another neuron. The cell body, also called the soma, is the metabolic center of the neuron. The nucleus is located in the cell body, and most of the cellâs protein synthesis occurs in the cell body.
