Nervous System Journey – Summary**Imagine being a **tiny traveler** navigating through the nervous system. Your adventure begins in the **brain’s motor cortex**, where electrical signals (called **action potentials**) spark into motion. You ride these signals through neurons, zipping down axons protected by **myelin sheaths**, accelerating your travel.As you reach the **synapse**—a gap between neurons—you transform into a **neurotransmitter** to leap across and pass the message to the next nerve cell. You then dive into the **spinal cord**, a superhighway of nerve signals transmitting commands throughout the body.Suddenly, you face a challenge: a **damaged nerve**. Here, you witness immune cells clearing debris, while **Schwann cells** rebuild the protective layers and guide axons to reconnect. Your journey continues until you arrive at a **muscle fiber**, where your signal causes it to contract—mission complete.Through this voyage, you discover how the nervous system combines **electricity and chemistry**, how it recovers from injury, and how every thought or movement is powered by a vast, invisible network.
