Question

Like a runner passing a baton, the transmission of nerve impulses between neurons depends on what?

Answer 1

neurotransmitters

The transmission of nerve impulses between neurons is like the passing of a baton between runners in a relay race. After the first runner races, she passes the baton to the second runner. Then the second runner takes over. Instead of a baton, a neuron passes neurotransmitters to the next neuron.
