Chemicals called neurotransmitters are employed in the relay, amplification, and modulation of electrical impulses between neuronal cells. Vesicles found at the pre-synaptic knob of axon terminals discharge them.

What is the substance released at axon terminals?
The substance that is released at an axonal ending to propagate the nerve impulse to the next nerve or muscle is called
What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
Is acetylcholine the substance released by axonal endings of the somatic efferent fibers and by the parasympathetic nerve fiber endings?
Yes, it does. In contrast, the sympathetic nerves release adrenaline
Axons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as?
Nerve Endings. Axonal Terminals.
A synapse formed between the axonal ending of one neuron and the cell body of another neuron?
True
Substance released at axonal endings to stimulate a nervous impulse is?
a neurotransmitter
Where in the nose are the nerve ending for smell?
in the olfactory nerve
What is the sending end of a nerve cell?
it is the nerve ending
What is axonal recruitment?
Axonal recruitment refers to the process by which an increasing number of axons in a nerve are activated to generate a stronger neural signal or action potential. Each axon is capable of generating an action potential, which is an electrical signal that travels along the length of the axon. However, at low levels of stimulation, only a subset of axons in a nerve will generate action potentials. As the level of stimulation increases, more axons will begin to generate action potentials, leading to increased neural activity. Axonal recruitment is an important mechanism for regulating the strength and sensitivity of neural signals. It allows the nervous system to modulate the strength of its responses to different levels of stimuli, and can be observed in a variety of physiological processes, including muscle contraction and sensory processing.

What happens to your acetylcholine when you stumble?
from answers.com When a nerve impulse reaches an axon ending, voltage-gated calcium channels in the axonal membrane open and calcium, which is extremely low inside the cell, enters the nerve ending. The increase in calcium-ion concentration causes hundreds of synaptic vesicles to fuse with the cell membrane and expel acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft (exocytosis). The acetylcholine released at a neuromuscular junction binds reversibly to acetylcholine receptors in the muscle end-plate membrane, a postsynaptic membrane that is separated from the nerve ending by a very short distance. The receptor is a cation channel which opens when two acetylcholine molecules are bound, allowing a sodium current to enter the muscle cell and depolarize the membrane. The resulting impulse indirectly causes the muscle to contract.
