Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
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
Functional connection between two neurons is a?
functional connection between two neurons is the transmission of electrical signals from one neuron to another through a synapse. When an electrical impulse reaches the axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, allowing the electrical signal to be transmitted and continue the communication between neurons.
The gap between two communicating neurons is terrmed?
This gap is called the synaptic cleft.
What synaptic cells process information?
Synapses are often related with neurons, who use them for communication.
What is the small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons?
synaptic cleft (also known as "synaptic gap")
What neuron conducts impulses from ganglion?
Post synaptic neurons
What is the difference between a diverging circuit and a converging circuit?
A diverging circuit is one neuron sending impulses to multiple post-synaptic neurons. A converging circuit is many neurons converging on one post-synaptic membrane.
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
What are synaptic gaps?
Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons.
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.
Describe the general structure of a synapse?
Synapses occur between two neurons. Electrical activitiy in the pre-synaptic neuron influences the post-synaptic neuron. There are two types of synapses in the body: Electrical and chemical. Electrical synapses occur in pre and post synaptic neurons that are joined via gap junctions. Currents from action potentials flow across the junction through channels called connexons. This current will depolarize the membrane of the post synaptic neuron to threshold, which will continue the action potential in the cell. Electrical synapses are fast and bidirectional. However, they are mainly found in cardiac and smooth muscles, and not in the mammalian nervous system.Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters. Depolarization occurs in the pre-synaptic neuron and calcium ions rush in. The calcium ions activate neurotransmitter release into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters reach the post-synaptic neuron and cause action potentials to develop.Note: this can go into much more detail

Is it true that a post synaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two neurons?
because i dnt know hahaha
Where is neurotransmitter stored?
Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the terminal bouton of pre-synaptic axons. They are released from the terminal bouton into the synaptic cleft and the neurotransmitters exert their action on the post-synaptic neurons.

What is the chemical responsible for most synaptic transmission in neurons?
acetylcholine
