Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transmitter molecules bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it. The action potential is the electrical signal that moves down the axon of the sending neuron, and the threshold value is the level of stimulation needed to trigger an action potential. A neurohormone is a type of hormone that is released into the bloodstream by nerve cells. While all of these components are involved in the process of neural communication, only transmitter molecules directly bridge the gap between neurons.
