Question

What makes it possible for messages to cross the synapse of a neuron to a target receptor?

Answer 1

Neurotransmission, or the transmission of messages from neuron to neuron, is made possible by neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitter must be released in order to facilitate the transmission of the message. The neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminal of one neuron and binds to the dendrites or receptors of another neuron in order for the message to be transmitted. This process is referred to as neurotransmission,

Answer 2

Neurotransmitters makes it possible for messages to cross the synapse of a neuron to a target receptor. They are chemical substances created by the body that transmit signals (ie, information) from one neuron to the next through contact points called synapses. When this happens, the chemical substance is released by the vesicles of the pre-synaptic neuron, crosses the synaptic space and acts by changing the action potential in the post-synaptic neuron. Today more tham 60 neurotransmitters have been discovered, among which are: dopamine, endorphin, serotonin, adrenaline, etc.
