The distance across a nerve synapse is 20 nanometres or 2x10-8 metres
It is most definitely a synapse.
Neurons transmit signals across a synapse
no
The synapse is where when the signals from the receptors gets to the brain and needs to jump across its releases chemicals that carry the signals across.
no
neurons?
nuerotransmitters
The reactions having a great time leaping across synapses is not known well and people take estimates only.
axon to dendrite
Neurons are responsible for transmitting a stimulus across a synapse. The electric potential of the neuron is sensitive to changes in the resting state and sets off electric transmissions.
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.
