Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

When the electrical impulse reaches the end of the nerve, small vesicles containing chemical neurotransmitters are released by the nerve and rapidly interact with the nerve’s target. This process is called:

A	the neurotransmission cycle
B	Synaptic transmission
C	Neromuscular transmission
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -If the signal reaches the terminal buttons, they are signalled to emit chemicals known as neurotransmitters, which communicate with other neurons across the spaces between the cells, known as synapses. The electrical signal moves through the neuron as a result of changes in the electrical charge of the axon.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the axon terminus, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic gap. Through synaptic gaps, a typical neuron may interconnect with thousands and tens of thousands of other neurons. Axon terminals have knoblike swellings at the very end called synaptic knobs or end buttons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons communicate with each other via electrical events called ‘action potentials’ and chemical neurotransmitters. At the junction between two neurons (synapse), an action potential causes neuron A to release a chemical neurotransmitter.
