What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
What are the names of some common neurotransmitters?
Acetylcholine or aka ACH is the neurotransmitter that is released from the axon terminal to through the neuromuscular junction across the synaptic cleft which binds to the ACH receptors on the end motor plate of the Sarcolema.
What neurotransmitters are classified as catecholamines?
Dopamine and Serotonin
What does Synaptic Vesicles contain?
A small membrane-bound structure in the axon terminals of nerve cells that contains neurotransmitters and releases them by exocytosis when an action potential reaches the terminal.
What functions as a neurotransmitter?
When impulses reach a synapse they trigger the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Molecules of the neurotransmitter cross the synapse and stimulate the receiving neuron to fire an impulse of its own as wave like movements of ions. They may also actively inhibit a receiving neuron from firing.
What are some important neurotransmitters?
Acetylcholine, adrenaline, noradrenaline, serine GABA. dopamine etc.
A nerve impulse is carried across a synapse by?
Chemical neurotransmitters. Examples of 'classical neurotransmitters' include acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid).

Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.

What neurotransmitters that perpetuates muscle contractions?
Neurotransmitters are extracellular signaling molecules released at the synapse by the pre-synaptic nerve, and carry the signal to the post synaptic neuron. They include acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine and gamma-amino butyric acid.
What are the examples of neurtransmitters?
Examples of neurotransmitters are: acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. They also act as hormones but basically they are neurotransmitters that helps send nerve impulses to the brain through axons so that a certain action can be done by a muscle or gland.
What is the name of the chemical neurons send to communicate with other neurons?
Neurotransmitters. Some examples: glutamate, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), epinephrine, norephinephrine, acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin
Which neurotransmitter is responsible for memory?
acetylcholine
Which neurotransmitter is not considered a catecholamine?
Acetylcholine
Which neurotransmitters are affected by cocaine?
Dopamine.
What neurotransmitters does haldol affect?
Dopamine
What neurotransmitter causes muscle movement?
Acetylcholine
