(Neurons showed above in order: Mine (motor neuron), Alex’s (sensory neuron), and Aden’s (interneuron) 

So with the neuron’s above, let’s talk about how they work. Okay so Neurons are the reasons our brain allows us to react to danger and the way it works is that at one neuron is stimulated that there is some form of danger which they through their dendrites which are the wiggly things on top like tree roots. From the dendrite, they follow down to the cell body and nucleus of the dendrite which power the neuron and the information go through the axons which are usually covered in myelin sheaths that helps speed neural impulses. During that, the axons gain an electrochemical signal (Action potential) where the axons go from having a resting potential of the positive ions outside the axon and the negative ions inside to depolarization with the channels in the membrane opening allowing the positive ions to enter. After that, the information goes to the terminal branches at the end of of the neuron where they are able to connect to other neurons in order to spread the information and the cycle continues. After the information is fully passed through, the axon performs repolarization where they separate the positive ions out of the axon again.

So now this is a Synapse where the axon on top sends messages down to the other dendrite from synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters that get caught at the nt receptors for the dendrites to capture and the cycle continues with the following dendrite when enough receptors have the information (it all builds up to an action potential) with the neuron determines that it’s an action potential and the information all goes to the brain like a huge game of telephone
