The vagus nerve primarily releases acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the parasympathetic nervous system. Acetylcholine facilitates various bodily functions, including slowing the heart rate, promoting digestion, and regulating other involuntary processes. This release helps maintain homeostasis and supports the body's "rest and digest" responses.
What else can I help you with?
What are anticholinergics?
Anticholinergics are a class of medications that inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells.

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.
What is the substance released at axon terminals?
The substance that is released at an axonal ending to propagate the nerve impulse to the next nerve or muscle is called
What ion enters the axon nerve terminal to cause exocytosis of the neurotransmitter is called?
The ion that enters the axon nerve terminal to trigger neurotransmitter release is calcium (Ca2+). When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, voltage-gated calcium channels open, allowing calcium ions to flow into the cell and initiate the process of exocytosis of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles.
What is the difference between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons?
Presynaptic neurons release the neurotransmitter in response to an action potential. Postsynaptic neurons receive the neurotransmitter (and can however become presynaptic to the next nerve cell, if the neurotransmitter has stimulated the cell enough).
What is the functions of neurotransmitter?
The neurotransmitters are stored in tiny sac-like structures called vesicles at the end of axons. When an impulse, or nerve signal, reaches the end of the axon, the vesicles release a neurotransmitter into the small space between the adjoining cells (synaptic gap). Neurotransmitters diffuse across the synapse and bind to receptors in the receiving cell that are specific for the neurotransmitter.
What is the chemical produced between nerve cells?
a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (ACh) is produced between nerve cells. This neurotransmitter carries the signal (in chemical form) at the synaptic junction.
What substances are secreted at the end of each nerve cell?
neurotransmitter
What carries a nerve impulse from one neuron to annother?
Neurotransmitter.
Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
Does the Vagus nerve carry nerve impulses that decrease the heart rate?
The vagus nerve releases the neurotransmitter, aceytlcholine, that slows down the heart rate. It is not the nerve impulses per se that do this, rather it is the the release of transmitter and it's interaction with post-synaptic receptors that have this effect.
What is an antonym for neurotransmitter?
An antonym for neurotransmitter could be "inhibitor" as neurotransmitters generally activate or facilitate nerve signal transmission, while inhibitors block or reduce nerve signal transmission.
What is responsible for transmission of nerve impulse across a synapse?
NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.
