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 neuron conducts impulses toward the synapse?
All neurons'impulsestravel to the synapse of the neuron. The synapse is the end of the neuron where theimpulsecantravelto another neuron or the any other receptor cell in the body.
What is the space between 2 neurons where electrical and chemical signals jump from neuron neuron?
It's a 'bridge' where the neurotransmitters jump from one neuron to the other. It is called synapse. This is a simple notion that I have about this subject. For a complete review involving this part of the brain and how it works see the link to "Neuron" below.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
What us synapse?
synapse are the microscopic gapes between the neurons where helps in passing of the chemicals from one neuron to other. A small amont of chemical substance is released from one neuron into the synapse and this chem. substance changes to electrical impluses and enters the dentrites of the other neuron.
Where does an impulse move from on neuron to the other?
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
How is information sent from one neuron to the next?
Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of: 1. a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles, 2. a postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters and, 3. a synaptic cleft or space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic endings.
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.
What is the relationship between a synapse and neurotransmitter?
Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. At a chemical synapse, one neuron releases a neurotransmitter into a small space (the synapse) that is adjacent to another neuron.
What is the space between the dendrite and neuron where nerve pulses jump from one to the other called?
synapse
What part of a neuron contains neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?
A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.
