Neurotransmitters are released. by ___ .
- a. axon terminals
- b. a neuron cell body
- c. dendrites
- d. glial cells
Introduction: Neurons are brain cells that are specialized to transmit nerve impulses. A neuron consists of cell body, dendrites, and an axon. Synapse is the region where neurotransmitter (a signaling molecule) released by the axon terminals signals another cell. The signal-sending neuron at the synapse is called presynaptic cell, and the signal-receiving neuron is called postsynaptic cell.
Reasons for the correct statement:
The signals received at the dendrites are passed through the axon and released by axon terminals.
Hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “a neuron cell body”. But, a neuron cell body connects the dendrites to get the information to the neuron. So, option b. is incorrect answer.
Option c...
