Electrochemical process is a reaction (chemical) that is caused due to the movement of electrical current. Neurons use this process to send messages through the nervous system. This is not only internal but is also used by the neurons to communicate with the rest of the body. An electrical impulse is generated by the neuron which is sent through the axon and reaches synapse. Synapse is the point where neurons and other neighboring cells contact each other. At this point, electricity is generated. Chemicals called neurotransmitters are now generated that reach the target cell. This is how messages are generated and transmitted through the body.
The above statement means that communication (the sending and
receiving of messages) by different areas of the body is possible
because of neurons. Neurons are the carriers of this message and
the electrochemical process is the way in which it is achieved. So,
this is not just one off but is a continuous and efficient process
that helps us enjoy what we do and respond to stimuli.
