When an impulse reaches the terminal end of a neuron, it releases its vesticals into the synaptic clefts. If the stimuli is good it will desensitize the post synaptic neuron.

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.


What happens when an impulse reaches the synapse?

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).


Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?

synaptic vesicles


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?

sacs are Synaptic vesicle.


Where on a neuron does an impulse start and end?

the impulse starts at the dendrites which is located near the cell body and ends at the synaptic terminals which are at the end of the axon.


What is the result of sodium ions moving across the axons membrane during an action potential?

a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.


What happens at the synapse between two neuron?

At the synapse, the electrical impulse between the two neutrons at synapse set of chain chemical reactions which create a chemical impulse at the synapse.

How far would an action potential propagated in an unmyelinated axon?

The impulse will go to the terminal end of the axon. Other wise the very purpose of the innervation will be defeated.


During neurotransmission when the electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon it crosses a gap called a?

The impulse itself does not actually cross the gap, which is called a synapse by the way, instead it stimulates the realease of a neurotransmitter from vesicles. When the neurotransmitter reaches the other side of the synapse it binds proteins on the opposing membrane and in doing so stimulates the membrane to continue the action potential on the mect cell.
