Potential, ok well we all know it's a potential, but which one? Is it Action Potential, Synaptic Potential or Membrane Potential. Just saying Potential isn't saying much?

What is the opening across one neuron communicates with another neuron is known as what?
Synapse
What is the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron known as?
Synaptic cleft
What is the interneurons also known as?
an association neuron
What is the connection between a neuron that transmits instructions from the cell body of one neuron to the next?
A neuron is a cell with many branches that attach on to others. Short receiving branches are known as dendrites, long transmitting branches are known as axons. This means that axons and dendrites connect with one another. Chemical fluctuations caused by positively charged ions (Na+ (sodium) and K+ (potassium) cause a phenomenon known as an action potential, which is how the neurons transmit information. Where the axon and dendrite meets is known as a synapse, and the space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft. The action potential, which is a shift in electrochemical charge, travels down the axon and upon reaching the synapse stimulates the production of some neurotransmitter.
What type of neuron that interpretes message and sends out command?
That would be an interneuron otherwise known as an associative neuron.
When a change in the environment that initiates the transmission of an electrochemical charge along a neuron is known as?
A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a cell, especially of a nerve or muscle cell, that occurs when it is stimulated, resulting in the transmission of an electrical impulse. &/or "nerve impulses" or "spikes".
Particles that have an electrical charge are known as what?
atoms
What kind of electrical charge does a celsius have?
Celsius is the name of a temperature scale (also sometimes known as the centigrade scale) which is an alternative to the Fahrenheit scale. It does not have an electrical charge.
The abrupt shift in the charge of a neuron from a negative to a positive charge is known as?
It is probably called as action potential.
When an atom gains or loses electrons it has an electrical charge. It is known as?
It is called an ion.
What is it called when an electrical charge flows in one direction?
This is known as a direct current or D.C.
Where is the neuron?
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
What is the definition of electrical charge?
Benjamin Franklin was the man that defined negative and positive charge. In the nineteenth century, positive and negative charge was known as vitreous and resinous charge, respectively.Franklin defined negative charge as the charge of a piece of amber after being rubbed against glass.
Long projections of a neuron that propagate impulses away from the cell body?
An Axon, otherwise known as a nerve fiber, is designed to carry electrical impulses away from the neuron. This is important for carrying information around the body, to and from the brain, muscles, and glands.
What is the name given to particles with an opposite electrical charge to normal ones?
A particle with the same mass but with an opposite electrical charge of a particular known particle is called an Antiparticle. For example, the antiparticle of the electron is a positron, with equal mass but opposite charge.
What is the atoms electrical charge?
Atoms are electrically neutral. Charged species are known as ions.
What is the definition of current-?
Current is known as the flow of an electrical charge. This is carried by moving electrons in a wire.
