Synapses and Neurotransmitters
Synapses are connections between neurons that transmit nerve impulses. A neurotransmitter is a chemical substance that produces the nerve impulse across the synapse.

Neurons possess filamentous extensions that facilitate connections with other neurons and organs throughout our body. We distinguish two main parts:
- Soma: Contains the nucleus and the main part of the cytoplasm.
- Extensions: There are two types:
- Dendrites: Short and highly branched extensions
