The gap between two communicating neurons is terrmed?
This gap is called the synaptic cleft.
What does the synapse describe the gap between?
Two neurons
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
The gap between two communicating neurons is terrmed?
This gap is called the synaptic cleft.
What is the junction called between 2 communicating neurons?
The connection between two neurons is not a true connection but a gap junction that is used by neurotransmitters between them.
What does the synapse describe the gap between?
Two 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.
Which chemical go across the gap between two neurons?
neurotransmitters
What word is used to describe a gap between two neurones?
The term used to describe the gap between two neurons is synapse, or synaptic junction.
What is the point called where two neurons meet?
The space between two neurons is a synapse.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
Do neurons touch each other?
Not exactly; as an impulse moves from one neuron to another it crosses a small space between the neurons called a synapse. The neurons as said to 'not touch' because the cell MEMBRANES of the two neurons do NOT touch, nor merge, nor consequently is there any sharing of cytoplasm between the two neurons. The two neurons ARE, however, HELD TOGETHER at that synapse by small molecules called SYNAPTIC ADHESION MOLECULES, which protrude FROM each neuron into the synaptic cleft or gap and then stick to one another. In this sense, PARTS of neurons do 'touch' PARTS of other neurons, in a MECHANICAL or structural manner, but NOT in an electrical or signal sense. The neural SIGNAL passes through the synaptic cleft or gap via neurotransmitter chemicals which are released by one neuron, diffuse quickly through the gap, and then stimulate a signal in the receiving neuron.
What is a gap in Cricket?
the space between two fielders is called a gap
The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
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.
