B

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, epinephrine are important at a neuron-neuron junction called synapses. When an impulse reaches the end of one neuron, at the synapse, it causes the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicle that diffuse across the synapse and when they bind to their reports on the other end. An impulse is then generated on the subsequent neuron that travels down the axon to the next synapse.
