Chemical neurotransmitters.

Examples of 'classical neurotransmitters' include acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).

What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?

The space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another is called a synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between the cells.


What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?

It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.


The neurotransmitters of a neutron enable a nerve impulse to do what?

Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.


What helps carry nerve impluses across the synapse?

Neurotransmitters encased in vesicles and diffusing across the synaptic gap.


A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?

A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of electrical activity called an action potential. This action potential travels along the length of the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing communication between neurons.

How does an impulse cross a synape?

An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.
