Nerves communicate with each other by releasing a chemical is called :

  • A.Neurotransmitter
  • B.Synovial fluid
  • C.Lymph
  • D.Plasma

Answer: A

The chemical is called a neurotransmitter.

When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, the neuron releases chemical messengers into the synapse. They cross the gap and bind to receptors on the next cell, passing the signal on. Acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin are examples.

Synovial fluid lubricates joints. Lymph is the fluid carried in lymphatic vessels. Plasma is the liquid part of blood. None of them carries signals between nerve cells.
