How do nerve cells communicate? #3: Ema If it weren’t for nerve cells we wouldn’t be able to understand our thoughts, motor and emotional responses, learning and memory skills. Nerve cells or neurons constantly gather information from the inside of our organism and its external environment. Thus evaluating the activities required to a person’s need. Nerve cells communicate by impulses in a region called the synapse. They send impulses along the membrane due to two phenomenas: electrical and chemical movement. Next, special proteins move ions back and forth across the membrane. Nerves tend to be interconnected by forming electrical activities. They communicate through neurotransmitters with another an nerve cell or a tissue of some kind. A nerve signal travels to the end of the axon where it has traveled as an electrical current. Then, the membranes can be found sending and receiving cells separated by a synaptic gap. Here is when neurotransmitters come in. They are released by the membrane and receive the neurons post synaptic membrane. The bonded neurotransmitters have the role of allowing ions to pass in and out of the cell.
