In the human nervous system what is synapse?
It is the junction between terminal part of one axon and the dendrite of the adjacent neuron .Synapse helps in the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another neuron.
Are motor neurons an electrical synapse?
no,motor neurons are not electrical synapse but are normal nerve cells.they help in transmission of electrical impulses from the site of stimulus towards the spinal cord.the impulses have to travel and cross certain spaces or junctions between two consecutive nerves,the axon bulb of one to dendrites of next neuron.
Junction where one neuron meets another called?
Synapse
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.
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!
A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?
It is most definitely a synapse.
Which one of the following phrases describes the transmission of impulses to and from nerve cells?
There is a connection between two brain cells, called a synapse. When it reaches the end of one cell, the electric impulse transforms itself into a chemical substance, and is transferred from one cell to another. When it reaches the second cell, it is again transformed intro an electric impulse.
What term is define as the site where two nerves come together?
The term synapse is the site where two nerves come together.
Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?
The synaptic gap, also called the synapse.
What neuron is before a synapse?
The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse).
What is the place where one neuron communicates with another?
The synapse.
Does a synapse separates the axion end of one neuron to the dendrite end?
Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
