Question 11

Describe the neurotransmitter process

Answer 11

1. Dendrites receive chemical information from neurotransmitters from other neurons
2. Cell body/soma integrate information from the neurotransmitters
3. If fired, an electrical impulse goes through the axon. Signal travels faster from the Mylan sheath through Salatory conduction
4. Signal researches axon terminal’s or terminal buttons at end of the neuron, which releases neurotransmitters into synaptic gap
