Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron are called?
nuerotransmitter
What are The chemicals that bridge the synaptic gap?
Chemicals that bridge the synaptic gap are called neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that travel across the?
synaptic gap
What do the bubbles of chemical crossing the synapse do?
Chemicals called neurotransmitters move across the synaptic gap by diffusion and carry a neural signal across to the receiving neuron. But the 'bubbles' (vesicles) which contained the neurotransmitter chemicals do NOT themselves cross the synaptic gap, they just release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap. (The neurotransmitters move across the synapse, the vesicles do not.)The vesicles release their contents of neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap by a process called exocytosis, in which the neural impulse which reaches the terminal button of the presynaptic neuron causes voltage-gated calcium ion pores to open, allowing an influx of calcium ions, which leads to the fusing of the vesicles to the cell membrane, which amounts to the vesicles 'turning themselves inside out' as the membrane of the vesicle merges with the cell membrane, which expels the neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap.The neurotransmitters flow across the synapse to bind with the postsynaptic neuron, potentially triggering neuron excitation (firing) or inhibition (preventing firing).
What is the space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross called?
The synapse

What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
What structures cross the synapse to generate the next impulse?
Neurotransmitters.
What is the space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross called?
The synapse
Why are neurotransmitters sometimes referred to as a key?
When an action potential reaches the knoblike terminals at an axon's end, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Within 1/10,000th of a second, the neurotransmitter molecules cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron-as precisely as a key fits a lock.
