Small chemicals called 'neurotransmitters' that are released into the synapse will diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to postsynaptic receptors (which may be on a cell body, or a dendrite). Examples of neurotransmitters are: adrenaline/epinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate, serotonin, GABA, glycine and dopamine.

What is the function of the cell body of the nervous system?
the impulses are brought to the cell body from whre its carried by the axon to the synapse
What is the space between the transmitting axon and the receiving dendrite or cell body?
Synapse
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
Axosomatic
What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?
The axon.
What neuron conducts impulses toward the synapse?
All neurons'impulsestravel to the synapse of the neuron. The synapse is the end of the neuron where theimpulsecantravelto another neuron or the any other receptor cell in the body.
Which is the correct sequence in the transmission of a neural impulse?
dendrite, cell body, axon, synapse
What is the space between two adjacent nerve cells?
its known as the synapse. Through the synapse is where impulses travel from brain cell to brain cell.
How does the cell body of the neuron collect info?
It doesn't. Any "info" collected is at the level of the synapse.
What is the term for the cell that receives a signal at a synapse?
The cell receiving the signal at the synapse is called the postsynaptic neuron.
A synapse formed between the axonal ending of one neuron and the cell body of another neuron?
True
How does a cell membrane differ from a body membrane?
A body membrane regulates what goes in the body in general, but the cell membrane regulates what goes in and out if the cell.
Axon is what?
An axon (or axone) is a nerve fibre which is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of the cell to a synapse.
