What happens when an electrical impulse reaches the end of a neurone?
Neurotransmitters are secreted directly onto target cells- so the nervous response is localised
Why is the response short-lived?
neurotransmitters are quickly removed once they have done their job
why is the response rapid?
electrical impulses are really fast, so the response is rapid- this allows animals to react quickly to stimuli
why is the nervous response localised?
