How is chemical signal converted into electric signal in neurons during reception of any stimulus?

Expert Answer
- Neurons communicate through both electrical signals and chemical signals.
- The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next.
- An action potential is a rapid, temporary change in membrane potential (electrical charge), and it is caused by sodium rushing to a neuron and potassium rushing out.
- Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers which are released from one neuron as a result of an action potential. They cause a rapid, temporary change in the membrane potential of the adjacent neuron to initiate an action potential in that neuron.
