Question

To transmit nerve impulses, neurotransmitters are released into the:


Axon


Synaptic cleft


Cell body


Dendrite

Answer 1

To transmit nerve impulses, neurotransmitters are released into the **synaptic cleft**. This is the small gap between the presynaptic neuron (the neuron releasing the neurotransmitters) and the postsynaptic neuron (the neuron receiving the signal).
