Neurotransmitter released at the ends of some nerve cells?

The neurotransmitter released at the ends of some nerve cells is typically either acetylcholine or one of the monoamine neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, or norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons in the nervous system.


What stores energy and nutrients to convey nerve impulses throughout the body?

The nervous system stores energy and nutrients in the form of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that help transmit nerve impulses throughout the body. These neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles located at the ends of nerve cells, ready to be released when a nerve impulse needs to be transmitted.


When the what reaches the end of the axon the neurotransmitter is released?

When the _____________reaches the ends of the axon the neurotransmitter is released and it diffuses to the muscle cell membrane to combine with receptors there?Sarcolemma


Are axons vesicles knoblike terminals that neurotransmitters are released?

The ends of the axons are clusters of terminal buttons. Terminal buttons are small knobs that secrete chemicals called the neurotransmitters. These chemicals serve as that messengers that may activate neighboring neurons.


What is the term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals?

The term used to describe the rounded areas on the ends of the axon terminals is "synaptic end bulbs" or "synaptic boutons". These structures contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synapse to communicate with the next neuron.

What is released when an impulse reaches the end of a neuron?

The impulse ends in the terminal or synaptic knob. Here neurotransmitters are put in vesicles and travel across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron.


What is the space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron?

The space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they then bind to receptors on the dendrites of the receiving neuron to transmit the nerve signal.


What is the suturing of the ends of the severed nerve called?

Neurorrhaphy.


What term meaning to suture the ends of a severed nerve is?

Neurorrhaphy is surgical suture of the ends of a severed nerve.


Is neurectomy the study of the ends of a severed nerve?

Neurectomy is surgical removal of a nerve


How does a single nerve impulse initiate many?

The nerve's endings are near to other nerve endings, when the potential of the potassium ion that is released is sensed by the other nerves they all might send an impulse to their other ends and the situation could be repeated.


How do neurons communicate with one another?

Neurons communicate by either chemical or electrical synapses. By far the predominant method is chemical though. The neuron releases a neurotransmitter like acetyl choline, glutamate, glycine and others to which the postsynaptic neuron or cell responds to. Synapses are the contact points where one neuron communicates with another. The dendrites are covered with synapses formed by the ends of axons from other neurons. Neurons are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells.


Synaptic knobs occur at the ends of?

Synaptic knobs occur at the ends of axon terminals of neurons. They contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the next neuron in the neural pathway. This process is crucial for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system.


What is the innervation of the forearm extensors?

The median nerve, supplies the lateral half of the arm, up to 1/2 of the fourth(ring) finger, while the ulnar nerve supplies the medial side of the arm, up to the pinky finger and the other 1/2 of the ring finger
