the most common neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, epinephrine, and serotonin. Different neurotransmitters may have different effects depending on which part of the nervous system it is in. Acetylcholine, for example, is used in neuromuscular junctions in order for muscle contraction to occur.

∙ 10y agoThe chemical involved in the transmission of a neuralsignal is called a neurotransmitter.
A neural impulse is technically just the firing of the neuron, the action potential, an all-or-nothing spike, not the transmission of the signal across the synapse, nor down the dendrite & soma via electrotonic conduction in a graded response.
