Summary Introduction
To explain:
The function of receptor and also explains the different types of effectors controlled by the nervous system.
Concept introduction:
The nervous system is the network of nerve fibers that carry messages from the brain to the spinal cord and various parts of the body. The nervous system comprised of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and the sensory organs. It also helps in maintaining the homeostasis of the body.

The action potential causes the release of signaling molecules from the presynaptic neuron that bind receptors and stimulates changes in gene expression in the postsynaptic neuron The action potential "jumps" across the synapse and is continued in the postsynaptic neuron The action potential causes the release of Ca++ ions in the postsynaptic neuron, which bind to ligand-gated channels that begin an action potential in that neuron The action potential ultimately triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the pre-synaptic neuron that bind to and open ligand-gated channels in the post-synaptic neuronarrow_forward
