Chemicals in the neuron that help send messages
A
dendrites
B
neurotransmitters
C
axon terminals
D
vesicles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons talk to each other using special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are like chemical words, sending “messages” from one neuron to another.

Detailed explanation-2: -These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called neurotransmission. The space between the axon and the dendrites is called the synapse. When neurons communicate, an electrical impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the axon into the synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons communicate via both electrical and chemical signals. A neuron receives input from other neurons and, if this input is strong enough, the neuron will send the signal to downstream neurons. Transmission of a signal between neurons is generally carried by a chemical called a neurotransmitter.
