In the nervous system neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine are released at synapses between nerve cells. When the neurotransmitters bind to a receiving cell ions flow into the cell triggering an electrical signal to be released sending an action potential across nerve cells. This is an example of _________.
Signal propagation is the movement of signals between neurons. The process of sending these signals takes place in two steps: along the cell ( action potential) and between cells (neurotransmitters).
