This called synaptic transmission. An overview of how this takes place is explained underneath.
1. Action potential (nerve impulse) reaches the synapse of the neurone sending the message (pre-synapse).
2. Calcium channels open in pre-synapse, allowing calcium into cell.
3. Calcium allows vesicles (little "bubbles" filled with neurotransmiiter) to bind to the cell membrane.
4. Membrane directly attached to vesicles opens up, allowing neurotransmitter release without allowing anything else in/out of the cell.
5. Neurotransmitter chemicals (e.g. Glutamate) travel across synaptic cleft (gap between 2 synapses) to the synapse of the neurone receiving the message (post-synapse).
6. Neurotransmitter binds to it's specific receptor on the outer membrane of the post-synapse (in glutamate's case, NMDA or AMPA receptors), activating the receptor.
7. Activated receptors open sodium ion channels in the post-synapse, allowing sodium into post-synapse (this is just one outcome, there are hundreds of neurotransmitters and receptors and as many unique responses. Some are excitatory, causing action potential propagation in the neurone, some inhibitory, stopping action potential propagation).
8. The sodium influx depolarises the post-synapse (brings the negative voltage of the cell closer to 0mV).
9. This depolarisation propagates an action potential which travels down the neurone axon towards the next neurone.
10. When the action potential reaches the synapse the process begins again.

What connects the sensory and motor neuron?
The connection between sensory and motor neurons is made through interneurons in the central nervous system. These interneurons receive sensory input from the sensory neurons and relay this information to the motor neurons, which then carry out the appropriate response. This communication pathway allows for the coordination of sensory input and motor output in response to stimuli.
What is the tissue for the nerve cell?
I don't know since I am taking a test, but I just put "neuron" for the heck of it.
When do you take amino acids before or after workout?
Amino acids can be taken both before and after a workout. Taking amino acids before a workout can help enhance muscle recovery, reduce muscle breakdown, and increase energy levels during exercise. Taking amino acids after a workout can help support muscle recovery and repair, as well as replenish amino acid stores that may have been depleted during exercise.
What are the components of enterprenuership?
The components of entrepreneurship typically include identifying opportunities, taking risks, innovation and creativity, willingness to adapt and learn, strong leadership and communication skills, and the ability to build and grow a successful business.
When an electric current is passed in an electrolytic cell how can we make out that electrolysis is taking place?
Electrolysis in an electrolytic cell can be identified by observing the production of gas bubbles at the electrodes, indicating a chemical reaction is occurring. Additionally, changes in the color of the electrolyte solution or the deposition of solid material on the electrodes can also signal electrolysis. A measurable change in voltage or current can further confirm that the process is taking place.
What process describe how signal travels from one end of a neuron to the other end?
The process is called synaptic transmission. It involves the transmission of an electrical signal (action potential) along the neuron's axon to the synaptic terminal, followed by the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, generating a new electrical signal that continues the communication.
What role does sleep play in memory consolidation?
Taking normal sleep every night help in consolidation of memory. During sleep the neuron cells do the needful to consolidate memory.
What is sampling in digital communication?
Sampling in digital communication is the process of converting a continuous signal into a discrete signal by taking periodic measurements of the amplitude of the continuous signal at specific intervals. This process enables the representation of analog signals in a digital format, allowing for efficient transmission, storage, and processing. The sampling rate must be high enough to capture the essential characteristics of the signal, adhering to the Nyquist theorem to prevent aliasing. Proper sampling is crucial for maintaining the integrity and quality of the transmitted information.
Do you need to raise your arm before a corner kick?
Yes, players typically raise their arm before taking a corner kick as a signal to their teammates. This gesture indicates that the kick is about to be taken and helps coordinate the players' movements for a planned play. It's a common practice in soccer to enhance communication during set pieces.
What is the sequence of events in a typical reflex arc?

Communication is an activity llustrate?
Communication is an activity because it entails taking action for the purpose of informing
How hard is taking all honor classes during freshman year of high school?
The benefits of taking all the honor classes during freshman year of high school is that it helps a student perfect in critical thinking and at the same time improve his/her communication skills.
What is the correct order of components of a reflex arc?
The three-neuron arc is the most common and consists of the afferent neurons, interneurons, and the efferent neurons. Afferent neurons conduct impulses to the CNS from the receptors. Efferent neurons conduct impulses from the CNS to effectors (muscle or glandular tissue). Two-neuron arc is the simplest form, fastest responding and consists of afferent and efferent neurons. Example is the knee-jerk reflex.
How does a digital camera create the electrical signal?
at first it will be you taking a picture and after when you push the button a spark lights to make a wire activate which sends the signal
How do you define intrapersonal communication?
Intrapersonal communication is language or thought that is internal to the communicator.It can be useful to envision intrapersonal communication taking place in the mind of the person.
Can you explain the importance of note in effective communication strategies?
Taking notes is important in effective communication strategies because it helps to capture and retain key information, organize thoughts, and facilitate better understanding and recall of important points during conversations or presentations.
Who bears the responsibility for communication actually taking place?
The person who wishes to initiate said communication is primarily responsible for ensuring the communication actually takes place.
