Which part of a neuron transports information from the neuron to other neurons through an electrochemical reaction?
axon
What is the rapid change in a membreanes potential cause by the depolarization of a neuron?
The rapid change in membrane potential caused by the depolarization of a neuron is known as an action potential. During depolarization, voltage-gated sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell, causing the inside of the neuron to become more positive. This shift in charge initiates the action potential, which is essential for the transmission of electrical signals along the neuron.
Why is cell membrane differentially permeable?
Selective (or differential) permeability allows the cell to regulate its internal environment and maintain internal homeostasis. This is also the basis by which a neuron (nerve cell) can 'fire' and send a message along its axon - it selectively allows one electrolyte then a different electrolyte to flow across its cell membrane and change the electrochemical gradient.
What type of neuron that interpretes message and sends out command?
That would be an interneuron otherwise known as an associative neuron.
What sends neurotransmitters toward the next nueron?
Neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft, where they diffuse across to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This binding initiates a series of events that can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, leading to the transmission of signals in the nervous system.
When a change in the environment that initiates the transmission of an electrochemical charge along a neuron is known as?
A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a cell, especially of a nerve or muscle cell, that occurs when it is stimulated, resulting in the transmission of an electrical impulse. &/or "nerve impulses" or "spikes".
Which part of a neuron transports information from the neuron to other neurons through an electrochemical reaction?
axon
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:

Define relay neuron?
a relay neuron is the neuron that picks up the message from the sensory neuron and delivers it to the motor neuron in the spinal cord or the brain
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
What is a neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction called a?
A neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction is called a presynaptic neuron. This neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating the transmission of the signal. The junction between the two neurons is known as the synapse.
What is the electrical message that travels along a neuron?
The electrical message that travels along a neuron is called an action potential. It is a brief change in electrical voltage that travels down the length of the neuron, allowing for communication between neurons and the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system.
What is a message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
What message does neuron carry?
Electrical impulses.
