A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?

It is most definitely a synapse.


On which direction does an impulse go across a synapse?

An impulse travels in one direction across a synapse, from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron. This ensures that the signal transmission in the nervous system is unidirectional.


How is an impulse communicated from nerve cell to nerve cell?

Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.


What is a small space across which an impulse travels to move from on neuron to another?

It's most likely called a synapse


What is A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?

Synapse. The gap itself is called the synapticcleft.


How does an impulse cross a synape?

An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.


A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?

A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, initiating a new electrical signal in the receiving cell.


A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?

A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of electrical activity called an action potential. This action potential travels along the length of the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing communication between neurons.


What is signal sending a neuron called?

The signal sent by a neuron is called an action potential. This electrical impulse travels along the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse to communicate with other neurons or target cells.


What direction does nerve impulse travel?

Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.


Which travels quicker through the body a nerve impulse or a hormons?

a nerve impulse


What carries signals throughout the nervous system?

Nerves transmit messages by using chemical messengers called neurotransmitter. Some you may have heard of are acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Basically, an electrical impulse travels down a nerve starting at the dendrite, moving through the cell body, and finally to the axon. At the axon special receptors sense the electrical impulse and use voltage gated Calcium channels to release neurotransmitters across the synapse. In the synapse, the neurotransmitters travels to the next adjacent neuron where special receptors on its surface "pick up" the neurotransmitter, this caused a second electrical impulse, called an action potential, to be generated starting up the whole process again..
