What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
Why would a lack of neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?
signals travel from neuron to neuron through neurotranmitters
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
Light sensitive worker needed to receive visual images and transmit impules to the brain?
the image passes from neuron to neuron through neurotransmitters until it reaches the brain, where the neurotransmitters are read
What is the function of a presynaptic terminal?
It stores neurotransmitters and release its content across synaptic cleft
What is Diffusion of transmitters across synaptic cleft?
It is when neurotransmitters are released form one neuron and travel across the synapse, which is a gap between two neuron, in order to stimulate the second neuron
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
What chemical substance carries information across the synaptic gap to the next neuron?
neurotransmitters
What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
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.
Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.
How is the message caried from one neuron to another it there is a space between them?
The synaptic gap is the space between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of the next. The impulse is carried across this space by chemicals called neurotransmitters which conduct the electrical impulse.
What effects do neurotransmitters from the neuron have on the next neuron?
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
What is the purpose of neurotransmitters-?
A neuron is a cell that is in the brain and it contains neurotransmitters. They are released from one neuron in order to send a message to another cell.
