What separates axon terminals?
The fluid filled space that separates axon terminals are called what
When a neuron is in a resting state the majority of the particles in the fluid surrounding the neuron are?
polarized
Why is it that the electrical impulse cannot pass from neuron the muscle cell?
There is a space (synapsis) between the neuron and the muscle cell. The electrical impulse can not pass over that. Chemical neurotransmitters are manufactured by neurons in the soma, then stored in little bundles called synaptic vesicles and transferred to the synapses. The release of the neurotransmitter is required for a nerve to simulate the muscle. This is what crosses the space.
A mixture of lipoproteins is called what?
A mixture of lipoproteins is called surfactants. They acts to reduce the tendency of alveoli to collapse. Only a thin film of lubricating serous fluid separates the parietal pleura from the visceral pleura of a lung.
Is milk a colloid or a solution?
Milk is a colloid because the fat globules aren't completely dissolved in the fluid of the milk
What separates the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments?
The barrier that separates the interstitial fluid from the intracellular fluid is the plasma membrane. The interstitial fluid is a major component of the extracellular fluid.
What separates axon terminals?
The fluid filled space that separates axon terminals are called what
What are the Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron called?
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons in the brain and nervous system.
What are the functions of the amniotic sac and fluid?
Amniotic sac and fluid has a protective functions for the fetus. This sac separates the fetus from the mothers tissue.
What is the fluid-filled cavity that separates the right and left halves of the diencephalon?
The third ventricle

What part of a neuron carries nerve impulses away from the cell?
The axon carries the signal away from the neuron, while the dendrite carries the signal to the neuron.The cell body of a neuron (a nerve cell) receives signals from its neighbors; when prompted thereby to send a signal of it's own, the axon (an extension protruding from the body) propagates that signal electrochemically via an "ion pump" to other neurons at the terminal synapse (a small gap between one neuron and the next). At the synapse, chemicals are released into the surrounding fluid to stimulate the next neurons in the chain.The connection between neurons is called a synapse, and the sending region is normally an extended "tail" called an axon. However, in some presynaptic connections, the same sending function is done in a dendrite or soma (the bulbous end of a neuron, containing the nucleus, is called the soma or perikaryon).A good way to remember this is: "Axon and Away both start with A."
What is the slit-like fluid-filled cavity that separates the right and left halves of the diencephalon?
The third ventricle
What causes fluid to collect around the brain after brain surgery?
The most common cause of fluid buildup after brain surgery is from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This occurs when when there is a breakdown in the barrier that separates the brain and the paranasal sinuses.
Thin film of lubricating serous fluid separates the parietal pleura from the?
Visceral pleura i.e. the pleura lining the lungs
What friction is there when people slip on a clean wet floor?
This type of friction is called lubricated friction. Lubricated friction is a type of fluid friction where a fluid separates two solid surfaces.
