Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chemicals that travel across a synaptic gap are called neurotransmitters. Chromosomes are not involved in synaptic transmission, but are involved in genetic material. Interneurons are nerve cells that communicate between sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord and brainstem. Hormones are chemical messengers that are produced by endocrine glands and travel through the bloodstream to target organs or tissues.
