Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Neurotransmitter is chemical substances which are released by the end of the nerve fibers by the arrival of the nerve impulses. These neurotransmitter, diffuse across the synapses and transmit the impulses to other fiber. These neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vessels, these vessels then fused with the sending membrane which result in release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft and diffuse with the cleft to dendrite of other receiving neurons and thus transmit the signals.
