The action potential causes neurotransmitters to be released into the?
synapse
What chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication.
Neurotransmitters are released from vesicles located in knob-like terminals on the?
Axon
What chemicals are released from the synaptic knob?
Neurotransmitter are means by which neurons communicate with one another. There are more than 30 compounds known to be neurotransmitters, and dozens of others are thought to be so.
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.
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
What are retrograde neurotransmitters?
Retrograde neurotransmitters are released from dendrites and alter the activity of neighbouring cells. This process is the opposite of typical neurotransmitters, which are released from the axon terminal (of a post synaptic neuron) and act on dendrites. Two examples are the gaseous neurotransmitters Carbon Monoxide and Nitric Oxide.
What are neurotransmitters that affect a neuron's response to other neurotransmitters called?
These are typically known as neuromodulators; they can either change the rate at which a neurotransmitter is released, or alter the response to a certain neurotransmitters.
The action potential causes neurotransmitters to be released into the?
synapse
Where are neurotransmitters released by neurons?
The axon terminal, into a synapse.
What is the medical term meaning Chemicals released by neurons?
neurotransmitters
What Neurotransmitters are released at the ends of some nerve cells?
An axon
How do Presynaptic neurons release neurotransmitters?
They don't, the neurotransmitters stay on either side of the synapse. Neurotransmitters are released when the synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic neuron's membrane, so as to release them into the synaptic cleft.
When are neurotransmitters released?
Neurotransmitters are released when an action potential reaches an axon terminal (aka: end foot, synaptic knob, bouton), causing voltage-gated calcium ion gates to open, allowing calcium ions into the axon terminal, which causes vesicles containing the neurotransmitters to fuse to the cell membrane, which creates an opening to release the neurotransmitters into the synapse.
What chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication.
Neurotransmitters are released from vesicles located in knob-like terminals on the?
Axon
Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?
synaptic vesicles
