∙ 9y agoThe gap between them is called a synapse, it is bridged by sending the message as a chemical.

∙ 9y agoThe space between two communicating neurons is called a synapse. Usually an electrical or chemical signal is used.

∙ 9y agoThat space is called as synapse. You have the neurotransmitter to transmit the signal. It is a chemical signal.

What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
What neuron connects an afferent neuron to an efferent neuron?
Afferent neurons go to the Brain while efferent neurons go down
what are the differences between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neuron?
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.
What is the space between two neurons called?
The space between the ending of one neuron and the communication with the next neuron is called the synapse, or sometimes it is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft. But synapse is the common term.
What is the space between one neuron and the next is?
It's called synapse
What is the space between the sending and the receiving neuron called?
synaptic cleft
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
How is the message caried from one neuron to another it there is a space between them?
The synaptic gap is the space between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of the next. The impulse is carried across this space by chemicals called neurotransmitters which conduct the electrical impulse.
Does a synapse separates the axion end of one neuron to the dendrite end?
Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
What is the space between the dendrite and neuron where nerve pulses jump from one to the other called?
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
How is the neuron carried messages from another neuron if there is a space between them?
axon and sypanes
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.
What is the spce between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages called?
The synapse is the space between pre- and post-synaptic neurons
What is the space between 2 neurons where electrical and chemical signals jump from neuron neuron?
It's a 'bridge' where the neurotransmitters jump from one neuron to the other. It is called synapse. This is a simple notion that I have about this subject. For a complete review involving this part of the brain and how it works see the link to "Neuron" below.
