The synapse consists of two main parts that allow one neuron to communicate with another: 1) the presynaptic terminal located at the end of an axon; and 2) the postsynaptic terminal located on the dendrite of another neuron. The presynaptic terminal is where neurotransmitters are stored and released from. The postsynaptic terminal is the recipient side of the synapse. Neurotransmitters released from the presynaptic terminal will diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors located on the surface of dendritic spines.

∙ 9y agoA synapse refers to a junction between two neurons. It is composed of three main parts: the presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, the synaptic cleft and the postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites.

What does the synapse describe the gap between?
Two neurons
What location does a neuron transfer an impulse to another cell?
It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.
The space between the tip of the axon and the next structure?
This is answered from a seventh grader, it is called a synapse.
WHICH STRUCTURE IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS MOST LIKE A JOINT IN THE SKELETAL SYSTEM?
The synapse is most like a joint.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.

Describe the structure and function of a fruit?

WHICH STRUCTURE IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS MOST LIKE A JOINT IN THE SKELETAL SYSTEM?
The synapse is most like a joint.
What word is used to describe a gap between two neurones?
The term used to describe the gap between two neurons is synapse, or synaptic junction.
How would you describe structure and bond in ceramics?
describe structure and bond in ceramics
Does the synapse occur between nerve cells?
I wouldn't use the word "occur" since a synapse is a structure, not an event, but yes, it is located between nerve cells, or more specifically, it is where the dendrites of two nerve cells meet.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
What is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?
synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.
What is the space between two adjacent nerve cells?
its known as the synapse. Through the synapse is where impulses travel from brain cell to brain cell.
Space between nerve cells is called?
Are you meaning between the buttons of the first nerve cell and the dendrites of the second one? If so, then it is called the synapse or synaptic cleft!
