How are neurotransmitters different from the impulses that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?

Where do neurotransmitters travel within the brain to transmit signals between neurons?

Neurotransmitters travel across synapses, which are small gaps between neurons, to transmit signals between neurons in the brain.


When a presynaptic neuron is stimulated in a patients body by an electrical current neurotransmitters are released from the?

The synapse between pre synaptic and post synaptic neuron. Here the acetylcholine is released. It is destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in milliseconds, once the impulse is passed to the post synaptic neuron


How does a signal travel down a neuron and what processes are involved in its transmission?

A signal travels down a neuron through a process called neurotransmission. When a signal reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the small gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the next neuron, causing an electrical signal to be generated and travel down the length of the neuron. This process involves the opening and closing of ion channels, which allow ions to flow in and out of the neuron, creating an electrical impulse that travels along the neuron's axon.


How does the signal travel from one neuron to the next in the human brain?

The signal travels from one neuron to the next in the human brain through a process called synaptic transmission. When an electrical impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then cross the synapse, a small gap between neurons, and bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, causing it to generate a new electrical signal and continue the message transmission.

What is released when an impulse reaches the end of a neuron?

The impulse ends in the terminal or synaptic knob. Here neurotransmitters are put in vesicles and travel across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron.


Where do impulses travel?

Nerve impulses travel up through nerves, into the spinal cord and into one of the different lobes of the brain depending on where the impulse comes from. For example, if the impulse comes from your ear, the impulse would travel to the temporal lobe.

How does a message. travel across the gap. at a synapse?

it is sent through the neurotransmittersAt the synaptic terminal an electrical impulse will trigger the migration of vesicles containing neurotransmitters toward the presynaptic membrane.


What is the result of sodium ions moving across the axons membrane during an action potential?

a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.


What does hormones and neurotransmitters not have in common?

They are both from different systems. Hormones are from the endocrine system and neurotransmitters are from the nervous system. They both also have different ways of how they communicate with the body to change or have a reaction. Hormones travel through the blood to the location that needs to be changed or balanced. Neurotransmitters travel along nerves. A third thing is that they affect the body differently. Hormones affect the systems that we generally don't notice, like our growth. Whereas neurotransmitters our typically immediately noticed, like tickling or pain.


What chemicals are released when a nerve impulse arrives at the synapse?

Neurotransmitters. There are several hundred different neurotransmitters used by different types of nerves in different parts of the body, a few are:acetylcholinedopamineserotoninglutamateaspartateD-serineγ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)glycinenitric oxide (NO)carbon monoxide (CO)hydrogen sulfide (H2S)norepinephrineepinephrine (adrenaline)histaminephenethylamineN-methylphenethylaminetyramine3-iodothyronamineoctopaminetryptaminesomatostatinsubstance Pcocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript, opioid peptides[9]adenosine triphosphate (ATP)adenosineanandamideβ-endorphinvasopressindynorphinoxytocinetc.

How does the nerve impulse cross the space between two adjacent neurons?

Flash! - The impulse is a jump of electricity from one neuron to the next via the dendrites. It happens in a millisecond of time so we are not even aware of it. Touch an ice cube with your finger; the signal goes from the finger to the brain and back that we get the immediate sense that the ice cube is cold.


How an impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons?

An impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons through a process called synaptic transmission. At the gap, known as a synapse, neurotransmitters are released by the sending neuron, which then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, triggering a new electrical signal to continue the impulse along the nerve pathway.


What is a neuron identify the parts of the neuron and their functions?

there's the axon (the nerve) the electrical impulse goes down that and covering the axon is the myelin sheath, otherwise known as a fatty sheath which insulates and helps make the electrical impulse go faster. In between each myelin sheath there are synapses (gaps between each one) and the impulse has to cross the gap so neurotransmitters are released which bind to receptors on the other side creating another electrical impulse which makes it travel even faster.
