What Make Neurons to Fire
Neurons fire because they know it's an ideal opportunity to engender an action potential when axons of the neuron myelinate, that is, when depolarization happens. This is fundamentally due to sodium particle discharge. This has a positive charge and results in the whole of the synaptic potential to increment. At the point when this total achieves a specific most extreme, an action potential is engendered. This causes terminating. The summation of synaptic potential occurs at the Axon hillock.

A data gets exchanged when this action potential is passed from the dendrites of one neuron to the axon of another neuron. We have heaps of them, the neurons.
In case you are new to some terms, here is the whole summary
Neuron: Cell that constitutes the sensory system and helps body conduit of minute informations, etcetera. Made of Soma, Dendrites, and Axon(only one axon is available in one neuron).
Soma: This is the place each organelle of a neuron is found.
Dendrites: They are the receivers of data.
Axon: They transmit the action potential to different neurons.
Node of Ranvier : That space in the middle of neurons. Responsible for flagging. Neurotransmitters play here.
Axon Hillock: A site in soma which totals the potential from neurotransmitter before Axon of alternate neurons lift it up.
Synapse: Space of the connection between two or more neurons.
Myelin sheath: the rectangle that was around an axon to aid fast transfer of electrical impulses. This fast transmission is called saltatory conduction rather that simple propagation. Logic is the more myelin sheath, the faster the transmission.
