What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
What is the junction called between 2 communicating neurons?
The connection between two neurons is not a true connection but a gap junction that is used by neurotransmitters between them.
The point of communication between two neurons?
Interneurons are multipolar neurons that connects afferent and efferent neurons.
What is the best definition for a neurotransmitter?
The chemical messenger of the body is a neurotransmitter. They are chemicals that carry signals between neurons or from neurons to muscles. In the synaptic cleft, impulses are exchanged between two neurons.
The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
What is the point called where two neurons meet?
The space between two neurons is a synapse.
What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
Synaptic cleft
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
What is the spce between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages called?
The synapse is the space between pre- and post-synaptic neurons
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
Do neurons touch each other?
Not exactly; as an impulse moves from one neuron to another it crosses a small space between the neurons called a synapse. The neurons as said to 'not touch' because the cell MEMBRANES of the two neurons do NOT touch, nor merge, nor consequently is there any sharing of cytoplasm between the two neurons. The two neurons ARE, however, HELD TOGETHER at that synapse by small molecules called SYNAPTIC ADHESION MOLECULES, which protrude FROM each neuron into the synaptic cleft or gap and then stick to one another. In this sense, PARTS of neurons do 'touch' PARTS of other neurons, in a MECHANICAL or structural manner, but NOT in an electrical or signal sense. The neural SIGNAL passes through the synaptic cleft or gap via neurotransmitter chemicals which are released by one neuron, diffuse quickly through the gap, and then stimulate a signal in the receiving neuron.
What is the difference between Neuron and synapse?
A neuron is a nerve cell. A synapse is a gap between the sending and receiving neurons, where there are neurotransmitters responsible for transporting chemicals to the receiving neuron. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger.)
What does a vesicle mainly do?
A vesicle is a small small, bubblelike structure at the tip of an axon that releases neurotransmitters to carry nerve impulses across the synapse between two neurons.
