    Neural & Synaptic Transmission The nervous system is made up of neurons and glila cells. Neurons are the basic communication links in the nervous system. Glila cell provide support for neurons and contribute to communication. Neurons normally transmit a neural impulse (an electric current) along an axon to a synapse with another neuron. The neural impulse is a brief change in neuron’s electrical charge that moves along an axon. It is an all-or-none event. Action potential triggers

They can influence how vesicles issue neurotransmitters‚ how neurotransmitters are cleaved/reuptake‚ they can hinder receptors‚ destroy receptors‚ and agonistically join to receptors which mimic the neurotransmitter. These are a few. Synapses are vital to the function of the nervous system. The most of
