Function of Electrochemical Impulses: In neurons, cell-to-cell communication is the major role of action potential. In other types of cells, activation of intracellular processes is their major function.
Transmission of Action Potentials from One Neuron to Another. When an electrical impulse reaches the end of an axon, it may be transmitted across the synaptic junction to the end of the next axon by a chemical. Less commonly, electrical synapses occur; these are discussed in your textbook. Located in the synaptic vesicles on the ends of axons is a chemical given the general name of neurotransmitter substance.
