What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
synaptic terminal
What is the opening across one neuron communicates with another neuron is known as what?
Synapse
What is the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron known as?
Synaptic cleft
What is the microscopic space that separates the axon of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron?
a Synactic Cleftsynaptic cleft
What are functions of synaptic junction?
To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
What part of a neuron relays signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector?
synaptic terminal
What carries impulses from one neuron to another neuron?
sensory neurons
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
What is the opening across one neuron communicates with another neuron is known as what?
Synapse
What is the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron known as?
Synaptic cleft
A chemical released from one neuron to another is?
A neurotransmitter.
What is the place where one neuron communicates with another?
The synapse.
A synapse formed between the axonal ending of one neuron and the cell body of another neuron?
True
What part of the neuron performs cleanup tasks and insulates one neuron from another?
Axon
What is the microscopic space that separates the axon of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron?
a Synactic Cleftsynaptic cleft
What are functions of synaptic junction?
To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
Why is the synapse not a structural feature of a neuron?
Because it is a small gap between the axon of one neuron and the receiving dendrite of another neuron.
