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].
Nerve cells are very variable in appearance, but all neurons have a cell body, also called soma or perikarion, and processes. The cell body contains the nucleus and organelles that maintain the nerve cell.The processes extend from the nerve cell to communicate with other cells.ervous tissue consists of nerve cells and associated supporting cells. All cells exhibit electrical properties, but nerve cells, also called neurons, are specifically designed to transmit electrical impulses from one site in the body to another, and to receive and process information.
