Neurons:

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical signals within the nervous system.

Synapses:

Synapses are the tiny gaps between neurons where chemical signals are transmitted from one neuron to another.

Action Potential:

Action potential is an electrical impulse generated by a neuron when it reaches a certain threshold, allowing for communication between neurons.
