The neurotransmitters are chemical messengers capable of transmitting a signal from a given nerve cell across biological junctions named 'synapses' to target cells such as, for example, other nerve cells (e.g., neurons). In the cell, the neurotransmitters are transported into internal vesicles that are fused with the cell membrane to release them in the synaptic cleft by the process of exocytosis. Subsequently, the neurotransmitters bind to cell receptors localized on the postsynaptic membrane and thus trigger responses in postsynaptic cells. For example, glutamate is a neurotransmitter capable of exciting nerve cells by binding to a transmitter-gated ion channel called N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA).

How does the digestive system interact with the rest of the body

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go. It Filters out waste from food and pushes it through intestines and out the body.

Explanation:

As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.
