Instead, communication between nerve cells occurs mainly through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and dendrites (Figure 5). This space is known as the synapse. When neurons communicate, a message, traveling as an electrical impulse, moves down an axon and toward the synapse.
Two mechanisms haveevolved to transmit nerve signals. First, within cells, electri-cal signals are conveyed along the cell membrane. Second,for communication between cells, the electrical signals gen-erally are converted into chemical signals conveyed by smallmessenger molecules called neurotransmitters.HE PRINCIPLES OF NERVE CELLCOMMUNICATION T he nerve cell, or neuron, is the key player in theactivity of the nervous system. It conveys informa-tion both electrically and chemically.
