What effect do neurotransmitters from one neuron have on the next neuron?

The two major effects are excitatory and inhibitory. For example ACh leads to the post-synaptic cell's depolarization while GABA or glycine will hyperpolarize the post-synaptic cell. But this is all a simplification. Some synapses have an effect of neuromodulators sometimes released as a co-transmitter (e.g. NPY and epinephrine from sympathetic ganglionic neurons). In some situations the cotransmitter can have a mixture of effects.

How do action potentials move from one neuron to another?
The action potential stimulates the axon terminal to release its neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters attach themselves to the dendrote of the next neuron, so that it will open its NA+ channels.
What is the purpose of neurotransmitters-?
A neuron is a cell that is in the brain and it contains neurotransmitters. They are released from one neuron in order to send a message to another cell.
The space between one neuron and the next is a?
This area is referred to as the synaptic cleft. This area is bound by the end of one neuron (the terminal bouton) and the post-synaptic membrane of the next neuron. When an action potential reaches the terminal bouton, Ca2+ influx triggers the release of neurotransmitters across the cleft, which bind to receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, allowing for an post-synaptic excitatory potential (PSEP) to be formed in the next neuron.
Which cell must have action potentials to produce one or more action potentials in the postsynaptic cell?
A neuron (nerve cell) receives dendritic input in order to generate action potentials to transmit signals of the same. After the action potential triggers release of neurotransmitters in the axonal terminal of that neuron, those neurotransmitters propagate the signal forward to the next neuron, and so forth.
What is Diffusion of transmitters across synaptic cleft?
It is when neurotransmitters are released form one neuron and travel across the synapse, which is a gap between two neuron, in order to stimulate the second neuron
What effects do neurotransmitters from the neuron have on the next neuron?
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.

What are neuro transmitters?
The nervous system is composed of many cells called neurons, these are essentially the functional units of the nervous system. ?Neurotrnasmitters are chemical messengers that are sent from one neuron to another neuron. ?So basically they are messangers communicating from one neuron to the next. ?Some neurotransmitters are excitatory which act to help activate a neuron, some neurotransmitters are inhibitory and act to reduce excitement of a neuron. ?Many many neurotransmitters will act on a neuron at a given time and the sum total will result in either an excitation or inhibition of that neuron. ?Examples of neurotransmitters include GABA, glutamate, serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, ?glycine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, melatonin, substance P, and many more!

How is the message caried from one neuron to another it there is a space between them?
The synaptic gap is the space between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of the next. The impulse is carried across this space by chemicals called neurotransmitters which conduct the electrical impulse.

How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.

How does a signal travels down a neuron?
Best Answer: They make chemicals that are gas-like. Neurotransmitters.
This contains neurotransmitters that allow a signal to cross from one neuron to another?
A synaspe.. something like that lol
