When the neural impulse reaches the axon terminals the vesicles release varying amounts of?
When the neural impulse reaches the axon terminals, the vesicles release varying amounts of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. This release is triggered by the influx of calcium ions, which facilitate the fusion of vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. The amount of neurotransmitter released can vary based on factors such as the frequency of the neural impulses and the type of neuron involved. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, influencing its excitability and signaling.
What else can I help you with?
What are tiny puches or sacs in the axon terminals?
The tiny pouches or sacs in the axon terminals are called synaptic vesicles. These vesicles store neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons at synapses. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, the vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft, facilitating communication between neurons.
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
What is the result of sodium ions moving across the axons membrane during an action potential?
a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.
What are the areas of the neuron that secretes neurotransmitters called?
The areas of the neuron that secrete neurotransmitters are called synaptic terminals or axon terminals. These terminals are located at the end of the axon and contain synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters. When an electrical signal (action potential) reaches the synaptic terminal, it prompts the release of these neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, allowing communication with neighboring neurons.
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, the vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft, facilitating communication between neurons.
What does Synaptic Vesicles contain?
Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and nervous system. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synapse, where they bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron to transmit the signal.
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.
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

During neurotransmission when the electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon it crosses a gap called a?
The impulse itself does not actually cross the gap, which is called a synapse by the way, instead it stimulates the realease of a neurotransmitter from vesicles. When the neurotransmitter reaches the other side of the synapse it binds proteins on the opposing membrane and in doing so stimulates the membrane to continue the action potential on the mect cell.
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the axon the tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters move to the surface and release the neurotranmistters These tiny sacs that store the neurotransmitters?
are called synaptic vesicles. They contain specific neurotransmitters that are released into the synaptic cleft when the nerve impulse reaches the end of the axon. The neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, continuing the signal transmission.
What are the areas of the neuron that secretes neurotransmitters called?
The areas of the neuron that secrete neurotransmitters are called synaptic terminals or axon terminals. These terminals are located at the end of the axon and contain synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters. When an electrical signal (action potential) reaches the synaptic terminal, it prompts the release of these neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, allowing communication with neighboring neurons.
When the action potential reaches the end of the axon terminals it causes the release of?
When the action potential reaches the end of the axon terminals, it triggers the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. The influx of calcium ions prompts synaptic vesicles filled with neurotransmitters to fuse with the presynaptic membrane. This fusion releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating communication between neurons.
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron
Where in the neuron is serotonin stored before being released?
Serotonin is primarily stored in synaptic vesicles located in the presynaptic terminals of serotonergic neurons. When an action potential reaches the terminal, these vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane, releasing serotonin into the synaptic cleft. This release allows serotonin to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating neurotransmission.
During a reflex the nerve impulse reaches?
the brain
