Detailed explanation-1: -Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are used to relay, amplify and modulate electrical signals between a neuron and another cell. They are released by vesicles present in the pre-synaptic knob of axon terminals .
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the electrical impulse reaches the axon ending of the neuron, it sets off the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are present in synaptic vesicles located in the synaptic knobs.
Detailed explanation-4: -When a nerve impulse reaches the axonal end, a tiny amount of a chemical substance is released in the synapse. This chemical substance is called the neurotransmitter.
Detailed explanation-5: -As a result of the action potential, the chemical transmitter acetylcholine (ACh) is released into the synaptic cleft. ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to special receptors on the postsynaptic or the postjunctional membrane.
