6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Neurons communicate via both electrical signals and chemical signals. The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next.

The electrical signal travels down the axon to the axon terminals where it tells the vesicles to release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft which travel to the receptors of the receiving cell which releases the second messengers
