Answer: Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the <u>axon</u>. when these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the <u>synapse</u>.

Explanation:

There are three main parts of neurons:

1) Axon

2) Dendrites

3) Cell body

Axon in a nerve cell send electrical impulses which is known as  action potentials from the nerve cell.

When these impulses reach the end of the neuron , they cause of release of neurotransmitters across the synapse.

Since synapses is the gap between two neurons to allow faster transmission of electrical impulses.

Hence, Nerve cells send electrical impulses along the <u>axon</u>. when these impulses reach the end of the neuron, they cause a release of neurotransmitters across the <u>synapse</u>.

How are Earth’s organisms and crust interdependent?
sattari [20]
The Lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard, solid rock of the planet's crust, the hot semi-solid rock below the crust, the hot liquid rock near the center of the planet, and the solid iron core. The biosphere is the sphere that contains all of the Earth's living organisms. The organisms and crust interact through events between spheres, such as natural events like floods, shifts in the Earth's crust. Some event as such could create soil erosion resulting in decreased vegetation and increase death of organisms. <span>

In the first 2.5 hours after a radical neck dissection, 40 ml of medium-red, bloody fluid is obtained from the client's drainage
cluponka [151]
The nurse should assess the patient vital sign and notify the healthcare provider. For 2.5 hour after neck dissection, production of 40ml by the drainage is a bit excessive. There might be a bleeding in the site of operation that becomes the source of the drainage. Change dressing will not do anything. Applying pressure can be done if the site of bleeding is known.
