During a science class, Samuel and Hannah are discussing how messages are sent in the brain. What role do neurotransmitters play at a synapse?
They generate electrical signals
They form the physical structure of synapses
They transmit signals between neurons
They provide energy to neurons
What do Dendrites do?
Receives information from other neurons via neurotransmitters
Produces fatty tissue for the Myelin Sheath
Sends information to the next cell
Controls the speed of electrical signal through the axon
In a classroom experiment, James is learning about neurons. He discovers that Axon Terminals have a specific function. What do Axon Terminals do?
