Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that are released from the axon of a neuron and cross the synaptic gap to bind with receptors on the dendrites of another neuron or an effector cell. This allows for the transmission of signals between neurons and is essential for communication within the nervous system. Hormones are also involved in communication within the body but typically act over longer distances and through the bloodstream rather than directly at the synapse. Interneurons and glial cells are types of cells within the nervous system but do not directly transmit signals across synapses.
