What type of message allows one neuron to communicate with another neuron?
BarbaraPenning
There are two main ways Neurons communicate to each other:
1) via chemical messengers
2) via electrical potentials
The main form of communication via neurons to neurons in a chemical messenger so I will explain this one.
An example of a chemical messenger is when one neuron releases glutamate from its axon. Glutamate is an neurotransmitter (NT) created in our body, it's purpose is to excite the neuron it is received by.
So for instance ( and this is a very general example this is not how pain works completely I just made up this example to demonstrate how the communication happens. ) lets say you touch a hot stove. An interneuron in your spinal cord receives the pain signals. How can it communicate to the brain neurons you are in pain? Well the interneuron can release the glutamate from it's axon, and then NT glutamate will travel to neuron b who has receptors for glutamate. When the glutamate binds to neurone b's receptors, neuron b will become excited.

What message moves from one end of a neuron to another in the form of what?
resting potential
What is cell signalling?
Cell signalling refers to the mechanisms by which cells communicate with one another.
What are the parts of the neuron that the messages travels through?
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
What is the function of 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 then to the brain.
What begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment true or false?
From the axon terminal of another neuron, a bunch of chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released and travel across the synapse (junction of two neurons). If enough stimulate the second neuron, the total energy triggers another action potential. Short and simple explanation--message me if you want more info!
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
Neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
reuptake is inhibited
What is the place where a neuron communicate with a muscle fiber or gland or another neuron?
synapse
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron

Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?
A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.
Does the spine allow you to move your arms?
yes. The interneuron in the spine send a message to the motor neuron in the arm which then allows it to move the muscle.
What part of the neuron would be responsible for notifing the brain that you hurt yourself?
Sensory nerve fibers carry message to brain. A part of neuron or or single neuron does not carry this message to the brain.
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
