This guide explores the fundamental processes of the nervous system, focusing on the reception of signals, transduction into electrical impulses, and the corresponding biological responses. We delve into the structure of neurons, the roles of glial cells, and the significance of ion channels (sodium and potassium) in action potential generation. Additionally, we compare the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) and discuss the evolution of the nervous system in animals. Understanding these concepts is crucial for studying biology and neuroscience.
