Which part of neuron release or send chemical messengers?
The part of the neuron where neurotransmitters are released from is the axon terminal, and they are released into a small space between neurons called the Synapse.
Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron are called?
nuerotransmitter
Just what does pass from neuron to the muscle cells?
via chemicals called neurotransmitters, expressed at sites called synapses, which are tiny gaps between a neuron and another neuron or a muscle cell.
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
What are neurotransmitters that affect a neuron's response to other neurotransmitters called?
These are typically known as neuromodulators; they can either change the rate at which a neurotransmitter is released, or alter the response to a certain neurotransmitters.
What is released when an impulse reaches the end of a neuron?
The impulse ends in the terminal or synaptic knob. Here neurotransmitters are put in vesicles and travel across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron.
What are chemicals which relay amplify and modulate between a neuron and another cell?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that send messages from one cell to another.
What functions as a neurotransmitter?
When impulses reach a synapse they trigger the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Molecules of the neurotransmitter cross the synapse and stimulate the receiving neuron to fire an impulse of its own as wave like movements of ions. They may also actively inhibit a receiving neuron from firing.
Transmit neural messages from neuron to neuron?
Neurons send messages by way of chemical signalers called neurotransmitters. An activated neuron releases neurotransmitters and their collective action can stimulate another neuron. These individual firing sequences are called action potentials.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
What are chemicals which relay amplify and modulate signals between a neuron and another cell?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that send messages from one cell to another.
