Iso, thank you so much for your kindness and patience and really wanting me to learn the basics of this stuff! I appreciate it and it means a lot to me!
Okay, I follow your garden hose comparison. Water goes in one end, comes out other end. The end of the hose attached to tap is the receptor - it receives water. So, after receiving the water, the receptor *lets go* of it so to speak, the water travels through the hose (through the neuron; is the hose analogous to a neuron?) and the other end (of the hose or of the neuron) transmits it?
BTW, you are absolutely right - "too much info & trying to link it all will induce brain overload, sparks will fly, & sadly Janelle will short-circuit with smoke & fire-works from all sides!" I am feeling OVERWHELMED with all the info I've received, so I gotta stop asking questions that will yield technical responses! :-)
