An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.

What does a nerve agent affect in the body?
Nerve agents effect the junctions between nerve cells. Nerve agents prevent signals crossing the nerve junctions so all communication between nerve cells stops and no signals can get through from the brain.
What do you call cells that have a nucleus?
You call them eukaryotic cells.
Groups of scientific Statements about the cell and the relationship between organisms and cells?
Groups of scientific statements about the cell and the relationship between organisms and cells is call an hypothesis. An hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon which is testable.
How do olfactory receptor cells work to make smell possible?
The olfactory bulb is actually a tiny lobe of the brain. There are many thousands of different cell types in the olfactory bulb, each with receptors for different chemicals. When these receptors bind to their matching chemical in the air they become excited and trigger a nearby olfactory nerve cell. Details of what happens after this have yet to be worked out, but basically the firing of these nerve cells is analyzed by nerve circuits in the rest of the olfactory bulb then transferred to the brain, where we call it "smell".
What do you call the slender nerve fiber?
denorites axon cell body
What do you call the part of your body that allows you to move?
nerve cells
What do you call the nerve cells that tell muscles to contract?
Motor neurons.
What is the function of the connective tissue wrappings found in anerve?
The connective tissue that wraps around nerve cells is there to keep them apart. It also functions to join them all together into what we call a nerve, which is really a bunch of nerve cells together.
What is gray matter where is it found?
Gray matter is what you call the nerve tissue in your brain because the cells are gray in color.
How do I bridge connections between a desktop PC and a laptop?
Your computer will have a section call network connections, this folder will offer you a step by step for connecting these two computers.
What is call control in telecommunication?
Telecommunication networks use CALL CONTROL as a process to maintain and monitor connections once they have been established. For In voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems, call control is used to manage connections between H.323 (standart ITU for digital communication between terminals, net endpoints, or between an endpoint and a gatekeeper. Call control is also widely used by Call Center agents.
What does a nerve agent affect in the body?
Nerve agents effect the junctions between nerve cells. Nerve agents prevent signals crossing the nerve junctions so all communication between nerve cells stops and no signals can get through from the brain.
What do you call the synapse between a nerve and a muscle cell?
it might be called a axon It is called a motor end plate.
What do you call the nerve of the nose that sends a message to the brain?
gustatory nerve
Is a nerve a organ?
A nerve cell is a cell all by itself. There are two kinds of nerve cells, neurons and neuroglia. A single nerve cell can be part of a group of similar nerve cells and be considered a tissue; as in a nerve, which is composed of many nerve cells. But, if there is more than one kind of tissue that contributes to a common function, then we call that an organ. The the heart is an organ because it has several kinds of tissues that all work together. Nerves contain a network of nerve cells that carry signals and impulses to the spinal cord and the brain. These are called afferent neurons. They also carry signals away from the central nervous system (CNS), these are called efferent neurons.
What do nerves contain?
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
How does a stem cell become a nerve cell bone cell or muscle cell?
As yet, scientists are not certain how stem cells know what type of cell to become. All they can be sure of at the moment is that they respond to signals received from other, often neighbouring, cells.
