Small chemicals called 'neurotransmitters' that are released into the synapse will diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to postsynaptic receptors (which may be on a cell body, or a dendrite). Examples of neurotransmitters are: adrenaline/epinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate, serotonin, GABA, glycine and dopamine.

A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?

The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.


What is the function of the cell body of the nervous system?

the impulses are brought to the cell body from whre its carried by the axon to the synapse


What carries messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse?

Axons carry messages away from the nerve cell body toward the synapse. These long fibers transmit electrical impulses and release neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other cells.


What is the space between the transmitting axon and the receiving dendrite or cell body?

Synapse


What neuron conducts impulses toward the synapse?

All neurons'impulsestravel to the synapse of the neuron. The synapse is the end of the neuron where theimpulsecantravelto another neuron or the any other receptor cell in the body.


Which is the correct sequence in the transmission of a neural impulse?

What is the space between two adjacent nerve cells?

its known as the synapse. Through the synapse is where impulses travel from brain cell to brain cell.


How does the cell body of the neuron collect info?

It doesn't. Any "info" collected is at the level of the synapse.


What is the term for the cell that receives a signal at a synapse?

The cell receiving the signal at the synapse is called the postsynaptic neuron.


What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?

A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.


A synapse formed between the axonal ending of one neuron and the cell body of another neuron?

True


What location does a neuron transfer an impulse to another cell?

It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.
