A scanning electron microscope picture of a nerve ending broken open to reveal vesicles (orange and blue) containing Neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitter are chemical messengers used by the nervous system. They are released by the axon of nerve cells called neurons. After crossing the space between nerve cells (synapse), they are received by a neighboring nerve cell where they stimulate an impulse. This continues until the message reaches its destination, usually in the brain, spinal cord, or muscle.
