Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that carry information from one neuron to another by crossing the synaptic gap between them. The other options listed are structures within a neuron that facilitate this transmission: axons are the long, thin fibers that carry the information from the neuron cell body to the terminal buttons; terminal buttons are the small structures at the end of the axons that release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap; dendrites are the branch-like structures attached to the cell body that receive the information from other neurons.
