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 nervous system is the highway along which your brain sends and receives information about what is happening in the body and around it. This highway is made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons (say new-rons) which join together to make nerves.1  A nerve is a fibre that sends impulses through the body.2  These fibres are covered by fatty substance called myelin (say my-e-lin). 3  Nerve cells work by a mixture of chemical and electrical action.his highway is made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons (say new-rons) which join together to make nerves. 1  A nerve is a fibre that sends impulses through the body. 2  These fibres are covered by fatty substance called myelin (say my-e-lin). 3  Nerve cells work by a mixture of chemical and electrical action.
