Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Neurotransmitters are essential for:
A
The speed of our nervous system
B
Forming the blood-brain barrier
C
Keeping our nerve tracts in line
D
Carrying a nerve impulse across a synapse
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite. The binding allows the nerve impulse to travel through the receiving neuron.

Detailed explanation-2: -The action potential and consequent transmitter release allow the neuron to communicate with other neurons. Neurotransmitter – A chemical released from a neuron following an action potential. The neurotransmitter travels across the synapse to excite or inhibit the target neuron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, nerve impulse move across the synapse, using chemicals called neurotransmitters. Hence, answer is ‘Adrenaline and noradrenaline’

Detailed explanation-4: –When the nerve impulse passes through the first axon and reaches the dendrites at the end of the axon, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters are released.-Neurotransmitters travel through the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron and bind to the dendrite membrane.
