Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released from the terminal button of a neuron and travels across the synapse to bind to receptors on the dendrites of another neuron, carrying the message. The other options, such as the myelin sheath, are involved in the transmission of the message but are not responsible for the actual transfer of information across the synapse.
