AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The dendrites receive the nerve impulse from cells which are passed to the cell body and through the axon. The nerve impulse is transmitted to the dendrites of the next neuron via the synapse. When the nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released by the axon in the synapse.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: An action potential (nerve impulse) is an electrical signal that travels down the axon of a neuron, resulting in the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two mechanisms have evolved to transmit nerve signals. First, within cells, electrical signals are conveyed along the cell membrane. Second, for communication between cells, the electrical signals generally are converted into chemical signals conveyed by small messenger molecules called neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transmission of a signal between neurons is generally carried by a chemical called a neurotransmitter. Transmission of a signal within a neuron (from dendrite to axon terminal) is carried by a brief reversal of the resting membrane potential called an action potential.

Detailed explanation-5: -The impulse always travels from one dendron end of a neuron to another, from one axon to another.
