What does the synapse describe the gap between?
Two neurons
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
How an impulse can continue to travel along a nerve pathway when there's a gap between two neurons?
Nerve pathways are slim, however neurones are small in size therefore the total amount of atoms in the impulse is enough to fit through a gap in the pathway of neurons
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 are desosomes?
Desmosomes are cell structures that anchor neighboring cells together.Channels that allow water and other molecules to flow between neighboring cells are not desmosomes, but gap/communicating junctions.
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.
What is the gap between neurons referred as?
synapse
What does the synapse describe the gap between?
Two neurons
What is the name of the gap between the transmitting and receiving neurons?
the gooch
What is the chemical secreted into the gap between neurons at the synapse?
The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
Which chemical go across the gap between two neurons?
neurotransmitters
What is the purpose of a synapse?
gap allows information to jump between neurons
The small gap between adjacent neurons is?
snaptic or snapse
What is the chemical secreted into a gap between neurons at a synapse?
There is not just one chemical secreted into synapses (the gaps between neurons); instead, there are many chemicals secreted from the terminal buttons of neurons into the synapses. They are called "neurotransmitters."
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
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.
What are gap junctions in cells?
They are connections between animal cells which connects the cytoplasm between the cells; in neurons, they are electrical synapses.
