Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help relay information throughout the body. . They . transmit information through nerve cells called neurons. . Ms. . Carmelitano. Introduction. Neurons are the building blocks of behavior. The 10 to 100 billion neurons make about 13 trillion connections with each other over the synapses. Essential Question: How do messages cross the synapses?. Spinal cord. Transmits messages from the brain to the other areas of the body.. Efferent – away from the brain out to the body. Produces muscle action. Afferent – from the periphery to the brain. or . junction between neurons & effectors. Synapses rarely involve just 2 neurons. neurotransmitters (chemicals) are released into the synapse by axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron. neurotransmitters stimulate the dendrites on post-synaptic neurons or receptors on effectors.
