This called synaptic transmission. An overview of how this takes place is explained underneath.
1. Action potential (nerve impulse) reaches the synapse of the neurone sending the message (pre-synapse).
2. Calcium channels open in pre-synapse, allowing calcium into cell.
3. Calcium allows vesicles (little "bubbles" filled with neurotransmiiter) to bind to the cell membrane.
4. Membrane directly attached to vesicles opens up, allowing neurotransmitter release without allowing anything else in/out of the cell.
5. Neurotransmitter chemicals (e.g. Glutamate) travel across synaptic cleft (gap between 2 synapses) to the synapse of the neurone receiving the message (post-synapse).
6. Neurotransmitter binds to it's specific receptor on the outer membrane of the post-synapse (in glutamate's case, NMDA or AMPA receptors), activating the receptor.
7. Activated receptors open sodium ion channels in the post-synapse, allowing sodium into post-synapse (this is just one outcome, there are hundreds of neurotransmitters and receptors and as many unique responses. Some are excitatory, causing action potential propagation in the neurone, some inhibitory, stopping action potential propagation).
8. The sodium influx depolarises the post-synapse (brings the negative voltage of the cell closer to 0mV).
9. This depolarisation propagates an action potential which travels down the neurone axon towards the next neurone.
10. When the action potential reaches the synapse the process begins again.

What connects the sensory and motor neuron?
The connection between sensory and motor neurons is made through interneurons in the central nervous system. These interneurons receive sensory input from the sensory neurons and relay this information to the motor neurons, which then carry out the appropriate response. This communication pathway allows for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to stimuli.
What is the tissue for the nerve cell?
I don't know since I am taking a test, but I just put "neuron" for the heck of it.
What are the components of enterprenuership?
The components of entrepreneurship typically include identifying opportunities, taking risks, innovation and creativity, willingness to adapt and learn, strong leadership and communication skills, and the ability to build and grow a successful business.
When do you take amino acids before or after workout?
Amino acids can be taken both before and after a workout. Taking amino acids before a workout can help enhance muscle recovery, reduce muscle breakdown, and increase energy levels during exercise. Taking amino acids after a workout can help support muscle recovery and repair, as well as replenish amino acid stores that may have been depleted during exercise.
What are the dangers of isotretinoin?
Isotretinoin can cause serious side effects, including birth defects if taken during pregnancy, psychiatric disorders, liver damage, and increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease. It can also cause dry skin and mucous membranes, muscle and joint pain, and increased sensitivity to the sun. Regular monitoring and communication with a healthcare provider are essential when taking isotretinoin.
What process describe how signal travels from one end of a neuron to the other end?
The process is called synaptic transmission. It involves the transmission of an electrical signal (action potential) along the neuron's axon to the synaptic terminal, followed by the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, generating a new electrical signal that continues the communication.
What role does sleep play in memory consolidation?
Taking normal sleep every night help in consolidation of memory. During sleep the neuron cells do the needful to consolidate memory.
Do you need to raise your arm before a corner kick?
Yes, players typically raise their arm before taking a corner kick as a signal to their teammates. This gesture indicates that the kick is about to be taken and helps coordinate the players' movements for a planned play. It's a common practice in soccer to enhance communication during set pieces.
Communication is an activity llustrate?
Communication is an activity because it entails taking action for the purpose of informing
What is the sequence of events in a typical reflex arc?
receptor detects a stimulus - change in the environmentsensory neurone sends signal to relay neuronemotor neurone sends signal to effectoreffector produces a response
How hard is taking all honor classes during freshman year of high school?
The benefits of taking all the honor classes during freshman year of high school is that it helps a student perfect in critical thinking and at the same time improve his/her communication skills.
How do you define intrapersonal communication?
Intrapersonal communication is language or thought that is internal to the communicator.It can be useful to envision intrapersonal communication taking place in the mind of the person.
Can you explain the importance of note in effective communication strategies?
Taking notes is important in effective communication strategies because it helps to capture and retain key information, organize thoughts, and facilitate better understanding and recall of important points during conversations or presentations.
Who bears the responsibility for communication actually taking place?
The person who wishes to initiate said communication is primarily responsible for ensuring the communication actually takes place.
How does a digital camera create the electrical signal?
at first it will be you taking a picture and after when you push the button a spark lights to make a wire activate which sends the signal
What is Turn taking system of communication?
Token Ring, Round Robin
What impact has the American Revolution have the development of communication?
During the American Revolution there were big developments that were made which had a major impact on communication. Photography opened up the world of people being able to see what was taking place, newspapers were helping to spread media messages to others, and telegraph machines allowed for communication from various points with those on the battlefield.
