How does the brain regulate the functions of the body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Your body's functions are controlled by your brain. It tells both your stomach and lungs what to do; it also controls your legs and arms.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials, which are electrical signals sent by neurons to each other via axons, allow them to communicate with one another. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. Channels within the membrane allow ions such potassium and sodium to enter and leave the cells. The neuron fires when there is ion movement.
Neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters can bind to receptors at the second neuron. They open ions channels, allowing ions to move in and outside of the channel. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. The impulse travels along the synapse connecting the two neurons. The transmitter binds directly to the receptors in the postsynaptic nervous neuron, and triggers the firing.
They are vital for the communication between nerve cells. They also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
