Explanation / Answer
1. Neurotransmitters are the chemicals which allow the transmission of signals from one neuron to the next across synapses.
2. The process that initiates communication between two neurons is called action potential.
3. When the body is in a state of fight or flight, it is operating in the sympathetic division of the nervous system.
4. Sensory neurons carry signals from the outer parts of your body into the central nervous system, while motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to the outer parts of the body.
