- To communicate between receptors and effectors the body uses two main methods.
- Nerves
- Hormones
- The Nervous system
- Synapse
- Each neurone does not directly end on another neurone. There is a small gap between the two neurones called a synapse.
- In order for an impulse to be generated in the next neurone, a chemical transmitter is released. This then diffuses across the small gap.
- Many drugs interfer with synapse. They may block or copy the acton of neurotransmitter in certain neurones.
