AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons communicate through synapses-contact points between the axon terminals on one side and dendrites or cell bodies on the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The axon carries the action potential to the next neuron.

Detailed explanation-4: -Axon sends messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons.

Detailed explanation-5: -When a nerve impulse reaches the end of an axon, the axon releases chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite.
