What is the name for chemical messengers?
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers of the body, transmitting impulses from one nerve cell to another. Many different types of neurotransmitters are known today, and imbalances associated with these small molecules have been blamed for a range of disorders of the nervous system. Hope this helps!
In the body hormones move from one location to another through?
Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted directly into the blood.
What is a nerve cells main function?
It's main purpose is to transport messages from one part of the body to another in the form of nerve impulses.
What is the junction or point of closed contact between neurons?
The junction or point of closed contact between neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another through the release and reception of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. This communication allows for the propagation of nerve signals throughout the nervous system.
Is it correct that synaptic clefts prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another?
Yes, that is correct. The synaptic cleft is a small gap between neurons, and it prevents direct transmission of impulses. When an impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, allowing the impulse to be transmitted indirectly.

How are neurotransmitters different from the impulses that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
no you give an answer im the one that asked the question
What are the chemical messengers in your body called?
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that the neurons use. Neurons have certain parts...dendrites which receives information (about some stimulus or from another neuron)...axon is the part of the neuron that conducts/conveys the signal to the synaptic terminals. The synaptic terminals is the part of the neuron that releases the chemical messenger aka the neurotransmitters.
What is a nerves cell function?

What is a nerve cells main function?

Why are hormones called chemical messengers?
I believe they are called chemical messengers because of their function and the fact it is a chemical. They travel through the blood and target cells respond to hormones often because of their structure. I have read in a science book (McDougal Littell 's Human Biology) that they are called chemical messengers because they are made at one location and function at another.

What does the circulatory system Carrie that brings instruction from one part of the body to another?
The circulatory system carries hormones. These chemical messengers from the endocrine system can bring instructions from one part of the body to another.

The circulatory system carries hormones. These chemical messengers from the endocrine system can bring instructions from one part of the body to another.
What does the circulatory system carry that can bring instructions from one part of the body to another?
The circulatory system carries hormones. These chemical messengers from the endocrine system can bring instructions from one part of the body to another.
What is the substance released into the synaptic cleft?
Neurotransmitters are the substances released into the synaptic cleft. They are chemical messengers that transmit signals across the synapse from one neuron to another.
