Transmission of the nerve impulse across synapse is accomplished by neurotransmitter. Transmission across a synapse usually requires neuro-transmmitters because there is small space i.e. synaptic cleft separates one neuron from another. Most synaptic transmission is carried by a chemical called neurotransmitter. These are low molecular mass substances released in minute amounts at interneural, neuromascular and neuroglandular substances. Most wide spread transmitter is acetylcholine.
