Question

Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the _____. when these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the _____.

Answer 1

Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the axon. When these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.
The axon is part of the neuron (nerve cell that carries messages), as well as dendrite. Axons pass the nerve impulses on to other cells, while dendrite receive nerve impulses from other cells. The place where the axon of one neuron meets the dendrite of another is called a synapse.

Answer 2

Answer: Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the axon. when these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.

Explanation:

There are three main parts of neurons:

1) Axon

2) Dendrites

3) Cell body

Axon in a nerve cell send electrical impulses which is known as  action potentials from the nerve cell.

When these impulses reach the end of the neuron , they cause of release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.

Since synapses is the gap between two neurons to allow faster transmission of electrical impulses.

Hence, Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the axon. when these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.
