The message in a neuron starts at the dendrites, which are the branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons. When these signals are strong enough to reach a certain threshold, they trigger an action potential that travels down the axon. This electrical impulse then propagates to the axon terminals, where it can communicate with other neurons or target cells.

What is a neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction called a?

A neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction is called a presynaptic neuron. This neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating the transmission of the signal. The junction between the two neurons is known as the synapse.
