SET COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS COLLECTION

●● Which components determine whether a nerve impulse is transmitted
across the synapse?
Answer: Enzymes
Enzymes can eliminate transmitters, thus impacting the transmission
process.


Receptors
Receptors are found on the post-synaptic cell and accept the
neurotransmitter. They stimulate or inhibit the post-synaptic cell.


●● Which statement about neurons is correct?


-Neurons have several axons.

Answer: Neurons communicate with other cells in the body.
Neurons main purpose is to receive, process, and transmit information to
other cells in body.

, ●● Which chemical messenger is triggered when the action potential
reaches the terminal buttons?
Answer: Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters carry the neuron's message into the synapse.


●● Which describes the monoamine neurotransmitter group?
Answer: Influences arousal, emotion, and cognition
Monoamine neurotransmitters influence arousal, emotion, and cognition.
