A nerve impulse is carried across a synapse by?
neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, initiating a new nerve impulse to continue the signal transmission.
Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?
synaptic vesicles
What is the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?
When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.
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 stores energy and nutrients to convey nerve impulses throughout the body?
The nervous system stores energy and nutrients in the form of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that help transmit nerve impulses throughout the body. These neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the ends of nerve cells, ready to be released when a nerve impulse needs to be transmitted.

Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?
synaptic vesicles
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.
Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the axon the tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters move to the surface and release the neurotranmistters These tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters?
are called synaptic vesicles. They contain specific neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft when the nerve impulse reaches the end of the axon. The neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, continuing the signal transmission.

When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.
What is the sequence of events that correlates to the sequence of events of a nerve impulse?
2,1,3,4
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.
How are neurotransmitters different from the impulse that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells at synapses, while impulses refer to the electrical signals that travel along the nerve cells themselves. Neurotransmitters bridge the gap between two nerve cells, whereas impulses are the electrical messages that travel along the length of a nerve cell.
How does an impulse cross a synaptic gap between two nerve cells?
When an action potential reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, causing ion channels to open and allowing the impulse to continue along the second neuron. The neurotransmitters are then either broken down or taken back up by the original neuron to end the signal.
How do nerve cells communicate with each other to transmit signals within the body?
Nerve cells communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical impulse down its length. At the end of the cell, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, a small gap between nerve cells. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the neighboring cell, triggering a new electrical impulse and continuing the signal transmission.
