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.

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
Why would a lack of neurotransmitters change the function of the brain?
signals travel from neuron to neuron through neurotranmitters
Where are neurotransmitters found in the body?
Neurotransmitters are found in the axonal terminals of a neuron in the peripheral nervous system (or PNS). An example of a neurotransmitter is neurepinephrin.
When the action potential arrives synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters are released by what?
The voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are opened when an action potential releases neurotransmitters from a neuron. A neuron transmits nerve impulses.
What is the function of a presynaptic terminal?
It stores neurotransmitters and release its content across synaptic cleft
Are the part of the neuron where chemicals called neurotransmitters are released?
The synaptic cleft is the area of the neuron that secretes neurotransmitters.
What part of the neuron stores the vesicles with neurotransmitters?
axon
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.
What part of the neuron was called the post-synoptic part of the neuron in humans?
postsynapse: containing receptor sites for the neurotransmitters on the dendrites.
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
Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
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.
This contains neurotransmitters that allow a signal to cross from one neuron to another?
A synaspe.. something like that lol
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
What part of the neuron releases the neurons?
The axon terminals release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters
