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].
Neurons & the Nervous System. The human nervous system consists of billions of nerve cells (or neurons)plus supporting (neuroglial) cells. Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells).The nucleus of a neuron is located in the cell body. Extending out from the cell body are processes called dendrites and axons.eurons & the Nervous System.
