AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The terminal buttons are located at the end of the neuron and are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons. At the end of the terminal button is a gap known as a synapse. Neurotransmitters are used to carry the signal across the synapse to other neurons.

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. A protective covering called the myelin sheath, covers most neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The dendrites is the part of the neuron that transfers a message from one neuron to other neurons. Dendrites are the branch of neurons that is a root-like structure made up of fibers that receive the signals from one neuron to the another with the help of electrical and chemical impulses.

Detailed explanation-4: -A neuron sending a signal (i.e., a presynaptic neuron) releases a chemical called a neurotransmitter, which binds to a receptor on the surface of the receiving (i.e., postsynaptic) neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from presynaptic terminals, which may branch to communicate with several postsynaptic neurons.
