Which statement about neural communication is accurate? All neurotransmitters increase the likelihood that the postsynaptic neuron will transmit a message. Structure and Function of the Body 16th Edition Patton Test Bank The reason neural messages are transmitted from cell to cell is because they physically touch each other. The part of the neuron that receives messages is called the synapse. Neurotransmitters released into the synapse determine whether messages are sent from one neuron to another.

Neurotransmitters released into the synapse determine whether messages are sent from one neuron to another. 3.1-31.

Suppose the reuptake of a specific neurotransmitter were deficient and the deactivation enzymes associated with the neurotransmitter were also deficient. What effect would this have? There would be more of the neurotransmitter in the synapse. There would be less of the neurotransmitter in the synapse. Since the two deficiencies would balance each other out, there would be no change in the levels of the neurotransmitter. The neurons would become especially sensitive to the neurotransmitter.
