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].
An action potential allows a nerve cell to transmit an electrical signal down the axon toward other cells. Learn more about how action potentials work. An action potential allows a nerve cell to transmit an electrical signal down the axon toward other cells.
