Question

If a person had a low level of neurotransmitters, how could this affect the person?

A) Sensory neurons would not be able to form action potentials

B) Neurons would not be able to communicate across synapses

C) Axons would not be able to receive messages

D) The endocrine system would not be able to produce hormones

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, epinephrine are important at a neuron-neuron junction called synapses. When an impulse reaches the end of one neuron, at the synapse, it causes the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicle that diffuse across the synapse and when they bind to their reports on the other end. An impulse is then generated on the subsequent neuron that travels down the axon to the next synapse.
