What else can I help you with?
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.
Which part of neuron release or send chemical messengers?
The part of the neuron where neurotransmitters are released from is the axon terminal, and they are released into a small space between neurons called the Synapse.
What is the area between neurons across which nerve impulses travel?
no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites
What is the substance released into the synaptic cleft?
Neurotransmitters are the substances released into the synaptic cleft. They are chemical messengers that transmit signals across the synapse from one neuron to another.
What us synapse?
synapse are the microscopic gapes between the neurons where helps in passing of the chemicals from one neuron to other. A small amont of chemical substance is released from one neuron into the synapse and this chem. substance changes to electrical impluses and enters the dentrites of the other neuron.
Information acquired by chemical stimull or response to the environment that is directed to the brain?
sensory or synapse
What type of synapse uses neurotransmitter?
Chemical Synapse
Who showed that communication across the synapse was a chemical process?
Otto Loewi demonstrated that communication across the synapse was a chemical process through his experiments with frog hearts in 1921. He collected fluid from a stimulated frog heart, transferred it to another heart, and observed that it caused the same effect. This led to the discovery of neurotransmitters as chemical messengers in the nervous system.
What is the junction or point of closed contact between neurons?
The junction or point of closed contact between neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another through the release and reception of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. This communication allows for the propagation of nerve signals throughout the nervous system.
Are neurons chemical messages sent to the brain?
Neurons themselves are not chemical messages; rather, they are specialized cells that transmit electrical impulses. When a neuron communicates with another neuron, it releases neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that cross the synapse to relay information. These neurotransmitters can influence the activity of the receiving neuron, ultimately affecting how signals are processed in the brain. Therefore, while neurons send signals, the chemical messages are the neurotransmitters they release.
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that travel across the?
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that travel across the synapse, the small gap between neurons. They play a critical role in transmitting signals between neurons, influencing various processes such as mood, memory, and muscle movement. The release and reception of neurotransmitters are tightly regulated to ensure proper communication within the nervous system.
