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.
Information acquired by chemical stimull or response to the environment that is directed to the brain?
sensory or synapse
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.
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.
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.
What are the chemical messengers in your body called?
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that the neurons use. Neurons have certain parts...dendrites which receives information (about some stimulus or from another neuron)...axon is the part of the neuron that conducts/conveys the signal to the synaptic terminals. The synaptic terminals is the part of the neuron that releases the chemical messenger aka the neurotransmitters.
How does the impulse jump the synapse?
Chemical diffusion
