When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
When are neurotransmitters released?
Neurotransmitters are released when an action potential reaches an axon terminal (aka: end foot, synaptic knob, bouton), causing voltage-gated calcium ion gates to open, allowing calcium ions into the axon terminal, which causes vesicles containing the neurotransmitters to fuse to the cell membrane, which creates an opening to release the neurotransmitters into the synapse.
What Neurotransmitters are released at the ends of some nerve cells?
An axon
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.
Why is the chemical synapses be release when a neural impulse reaches the end of an axon?
Neurotransmitters are released in order to transmit the message from the axon terminal to the other neuron by having said synapse "jump" to the neighboring dendrite.
When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
Where are neurotransmitters released by neurons?
The axon terminal, into a synapse.

What Neurotransmitters are released at the ends of some nerve cells?
An axon
What are the sacs that store chemicals in the axon terminal area?
The axon terminals contain chemicals, called "neurotransmitters," which are released in order for the cell to communicate with nearby cells.
Neurotransmitters are released from vesicles located in knob-like terminals on the?
Axon
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.
Why is the chemical synapses be release when a neural impulse reaches the end of an axon?
Neurotransmitters are released in order to transmit the message from the axon terminal to the other neuron by having said synapse "jump" to the neighboring dendrite.
How does a signal cross from the axon of the neuron to the receiving cell?
When the electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, neurotransmitters are released. They travel across the synapse. Once they reach the receiving cell, they create a new electrical signal.
How does a signal crosses from the axon of a neuron to a receiving cell?
When the electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, neurotransmitters are released. They travel acrross the synapse. Once they reach the receiving cell, they create a new electrical signal.
What region of the cell secretes neurotransmitters?
an axon terminal
What does the axon do?
Send neurotransmitters :)
