Ha! I'm a stubborn teacher! Get back in class & sit down. :-)
SHORT ANSWER:---------------------------------
Simple comparison - a garden hose. Water goes in one end, comes out other end. The end of the hose attached to tap is the receptor - it receives water. Forget neurotransmitters & all. Just think message=water. One end receives the message, the other end transmits it. Get that down, stick to that, and after a while you can add on further explanations.
END OF SHORT ANSWER:-----------------------------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. Stick to basics till they feel comfortable. Bit by bit, the other things will make sense. It's really how everybody learns. You need a framework of knowledge to add pieces on. If the framework isn't sound, adding on more will make the whole thing crumble. Remember, it took most of us years to grasp it all.
