Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system to communicate messages. They communicate through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling the transmission of information across the brain and body.


Chemical communication is carried out between neurons by substances called?

neurotransmitters. These are chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses, which are junctions between neurons. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes in the brain and body.


What role do neurotransmitters play in human behavior?

Humans (as well as many other mammals and other lifeforms) transmit information across their bodies through the use of neurons. At the axon ends of these neurons are tiny sacs called synaptic vesicles that contain special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Since neurons aren't physically connected to one another, they have to releases these neurotransmitters and then have them received by receptors on another neuron. Thus, in order for any behavior to actually present itself in a physical form, a series of messages must be sent from the brain to another part of the body along these neurons through the use of neurotransmitters. Since these neurotransmitters are just freely floating in the body, its easy for them to be modified by external forces. If for example your body wanted to dilute some pain, it could release chemicals that would stop neurotransmitters that would otherwise tell your brain that you're in pain.


What are the two physiological regulators of behavior?

somebody please answer this question.. I've been searching in the net for the answer and nothing popped out. I can't start writing my homework since this is the first one. please help me:))

How Nervous system carries message?

The nervous system carries messages through a network of nerve cells called neurons. When a stimulus is detected, electrical signals are generated in the neurons and travel along the nerve cells in the form of action potentials. These action potentials allow for communication between different parts of the body and are transmitted across synapses to relay messages between neurons.


Which type of neuron transfers messages across the CNS?

relay neuron


What is the area between neurons across which nerve impulses travel?

no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites


How does information travel across the space between neurons?

Information travels across the space between neurons through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. When an electrical signal reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, causing a new electrical signal to be generated and continue the communication process.


What happens when an impulse reaches the synapse?

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).


How neurons send messages?

The messages are carried by chemical messenger across the neurons (synapses). It is actually an enzyme which is released from one end of the synapse and which triggers the electrical message to pass through each cell from side to side.


How are messages in the body transmitted?

The messages are transmtted through neurons that are nerve cells.As each neuron has a Cyton and an axon,one axon is connected to cyton of other cell through dendrons.In this way the network continues in the control of Brain i.e the main neurocontrol organ


How does information travel across the space between two neurons?

Information travels across the space between two neurons through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. When an electrical signal reaches the end of one neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, causing a new electrical signal to be generated and continue the transmission of information.


Where do neurotransmitters travel within the brain to transmit signals between neurons?

Neurotransmitters travel across synapses, which are small gaps between neurons, to transmit signals between neurons in the brain.
