Answer: The correct answer is-

1) Neurons transmit signals to the central nervous system.

2) This can be accomplished when two neurons communicate with each other through the synapse.

3) The neurotransmitter (that acts as a chemical messenger) is released at the site to initiate action potential and carry the signal through the body.

4) The brain processes this information to initiate a response.

Neurons (functional unit of nervous system) transmit signals to the brain in the form of electrical impulses. This is done through neural communication, which takes place between two neurons through a chemical messenger (called neurotransmitter) that is released at synapse (space between two neurons) by axon terminals (ending of neuron). Action potential is triggered by neurotransmitter, which carries the signal throughout the body. When the signals reach brain, the information is processed so as to generate an appropriate response.

Hello, Boolinjennipa1afd. Neurons communicate with the cells that they are controlled by releasing chemicals, called neurotransmitters, at a synapse. Your answers would be - two neurons communicate with each other through the synapse (the site of the functional connection). The other answer would be - The neurotransmitter is released at the site to initiate action potential and carry the signal through the body. The neurotransmitter molecules then diffuse a very short distance to the cell being controlled, where they have a specific effect. If you have any more questions then feel free to let me know. Have a great day!
