What else can I help you with?
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.
Is a dendrite bordered by a synapse?
No, a dendrite is not bordered by a synapse. A synapse is a junction between two neurons where communication occurs by the release of neurotransmitters. Dendrites are the branching structures of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons through these synapses.
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:))
Do neurotransmitters form the myelin sheath?
No, not at all. The myelin sheaths are actually made by other living cells in the nervous system known as glia. Two types of glia myelinate the nervous system: oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The oligodendrocytes for myelin in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the Schwann cells form myelin in the peripheral nervous system (everything outside the brain and spinal cord).
If a person brain had a low level of neurotransmitters how would this affect the person?
Neurons would not be able to communicate across synapses. The different parts of the brain would not be able to communicate with each other as well.
What do neurotransmitters open?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
What OPEN do?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
Which of these neurotransmitters do adrenergic synapses use?
noreprinephrine
What is the name of the chemicals that transmit impulses at synapses?
Neurotransmitters
How does the impulses get over the synapses?
Neurotransmitters. It's purely chemical.
What are the synases?
Synapses are specialized junctions that facilitate communication between neurons or between neurons and other types of cells, such as muscle cells. At a synapse, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters, which cross the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell, triggering a response. There are two main types of synapses: chemical synapses, which use neurotransmitters, and electrical synapses, which allow direct electrical signals to pass between cells. Synapses play a crucial role in neural communication, influencing processes like learning, memory, and reflexes.
What are specialized junctions between neurons called?
Specialized junctions between neurons are called synapses. Synapses allow neurons to communicate with each other by transmitting signals in the form of neurotransmitters. There are two main types of synapses: electrical synapses, where ions flow directly between neurons, and chemical synapses, where neurotransmitters are released to relay the signal.
What reactions leap across synapses?
Reactions don't leap across synapses but neurotransmitters will diffuse across the synaptic cleft.
What chemical substance carries information across the synaptic gap to the next neuron?
neurotransmitters
Why is conduction at synapses one way?
Neurotransmitters are only produced from one side.
What are dopamine and serotonin?
They are neurotransmitters. They are sent across synapses from one nerve to another.
How many different kinds of neurotransmitters do you release into your synapses?
There are over 100 different types of neurotransmitters that can be released into synapses, each with specific functions and effects on neuronal communication. Some of the most well-known neurotransmitters include serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate.
