When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
What else can I help you with?
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron
True or false when an impulse reaches a synapse an electrical spark jumps the gap?
TRUE
During neurotransmission when the electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon it crosses a gap called a?
The impulse itself does not actually cross the gap, which is called a synapse by the way, instead it stimulates the realease of a neurotransmitter from vesicles. When the neurotransmitter reaches the other side of the synapse it binds proteins on the opposing membrane and in doing so stimulates the membrane to continue the action potential on the mect cell.
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 is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?
synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.
How does an impulse cross a synape?
An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.
How does the impulse jump the synapse?
Chemical diffusion
A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?
It is most definitely a synapse.
What happens to the body when the receptors that remove catecholamines from a synapse have very low activity?
No impulse is transmitted. Hence the all or nothing principal.
When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, what happens to the neurotransmitter release?
When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse.
An impulse reaches the CNS from the PNS via the?
An impulse reaches the central nervous system (CNS) from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) through neurons. Sensory neurons in the PNS transmit signals to interneurons in the CNS, which then relay the information to motor neurons to generate a response.
What carries an impulse across a synapse to a muscle?
neurons?
