What else can I help you with?
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
What chemical is released into the gap to signal the next axon to fire?
The chemical released into the synaptic gap to signal the next axon to fire is called a neurotransmitter. When an action potential reaches the end of an axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to the propagation of the signal if the threshold is met. Common neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin.
What neurotransmitter is released at the motor end plates by axon terminals?
The accepted terminology is either neurotransmitter or neuromodulator. The compounds are epinephrine, ACh, norepiniphrine, GABA, glycine, ATP , ADP, adenosine, glutamate, aspartate, substance P, Neuropeptide Y, LHRH and probably 2 dozen others. In addition NO (nitric oxide) acts as a neuronal released modulator (albeit not by synaptic release).
When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).
Why is the chemical synapses be release when a neural impulse reaches the end of an axon?
Chemical synapses release neurotransmitters when a neural impulse reaches the end of an axon to transmit information to the next neuron. This release of neurotransmitters allows for communication between neurons and helps propagate the neural impulse across the synaptic gap to continue the signal.
What reaches the end of the axon when the neurotransmitter is released and diffuses to the muscle membrane to combine with receptors there?
nerve impulse
What chemical is released into the gap?
neurotransmitter
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
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.

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.
How does a signal crosses from the axon of a neuron to a receiving cell?
When the electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, neurotransmitters are released. They travel acrross the synapse. Once they reach the receiving cell, they create a new electrical signal.
How does a signal cross from the axon of the neuron to the receiving cell?
When the electrical signal reaches the end of an axon, neurotransmitters are released. They travel across the synapse. Once they reach the receiving cell, they create a new electrical signal.
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.
When the action potential gets to the end of the axon?
When the action potential reaches the end of an axon, it causes special chemical messages called neurotransmitters to be released across the space between the neurons (the synapse).

Chemical synapses release neurotransmitters when a neural impulse reaches the end of an axon to transmit information to the next neuron. This release of neurotransmitters allows for communication between neurons and helps propagate the neural impulse across the synaptic gap to continue the signal.
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.
