C. Dendrites and axons both extend from the cell body of the neuron in a branching fashion.


Is a nerve message also called a synapse?

Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.


Which structures pertain to neurons?

Synapses, dendrites, dendritic spines (bumps on dendrites where synapses are often found), dendritic arbors (tree-like projections of dendrites), somas (body of neuron), axon hillocks (where a summation of input impulses may initiate an action potential or spike), axons, myelin sheaths (on myelinated axons), and axon terminals (containing vesicles of neurotransmitters).


Where does a synapse occur?

Synapses occur at synaptic cleft (or also called as "synaptic gap"). The location of "synaptic cleft" depends on the types of synapses:axo-dendritic synapse : between axons and dendritesaxo-somatic synapse : between axons and cell bodiesaxo-axonic synapse : between axons and axonsdendro-denritic syanpse : between dendrites and dendrites


How do nerve cell works?

The dendrites of one neuron send electrical impulses called synapses to the axons of other neurons to transport information.


How do neurons communicate with one another?

Neurons communicate by either chemical or electrical synapses. By far the predominant method is chemical though. The neuron releases a neurotransmitter like acetyl choline, glutamate, glycine and others to which the postsynaptic neuron or cell responds to. Synapses are the contact points where one neuron communicates with another. The dendrites are covered with synapses formed by the ends of axons from other neurons. Neurons are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells.
