An extremely high level of social inhibition is known as Social Anxiety Disorder, though is usually falselyperceived to be the result of a lack of confidence or self esteem.
Function of Electrochemical Impulses: In neurons, cell-to-cell communication is the major role of action potential. In other types of cells, activation of intracellular processes is their major function.
Neurons and electrochemical transmission. The bodyâs ability to transmit electrical signals relies on a special type of cell called a neuron. As weâll see, neural communication actually involves both electrical and chemicalâor electrochemicalâcommunication. To understand this process, there are five parts of the neuron that youâll need to know: The dendrites, soma, axon, axon hillock, and terminal buttons, as shown in Figure 12.1.
