ANATOMY OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS

Anatomy of neurotransmitters An understanding of the synaptic transmission is of great importance in understanding the basic principle of chemical signaling between the neurons. This chemical process of interaction or signaling between the neurons occurs at the end of the axon, in a structure called synapse. Synapse: As neurons form a network, so they have to be interconnected for the purpose of transmission of nerve impulse from one neuron to the other. But, unlike other cells there is a lack of a cellular continuity between two neurons, as they have a space between them called as the synapse. The mechanism of chemical signaling involves the release of a chemical, called a neurotransmitter from a presynaptic neuron, which further binds to the receptors which are located in the postsynaptic neuron. These neurotransmitters then act on their particular receptors and produce a particular response. Neurotransmitters: Neurotransmitters are defined as endogenous chemicals i...
