What carries an impulse across a synapse to a muscle?
neurons?
A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?
It is most definitely a synapse.
On which direction does an impulse go across a synapse?
axon to dendrite
How does an impulse cross a synaptic gap between two nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters send the impulse across the synapse
State why there is a brief delay in the transmission of an impulse across the synapse?
The impulse must go from one neuron to the next. To do this, it must change from an electrical to a chemical signal, and back to an electrical signal when it reaches the next neuron. Electrical signals are impossibly fast, but neurotransmitters cannot cross a synapse that fast. So, the impulse is at its slowest point when it crosses the synapse.
How do electrical impulses go across synapses?
An electrial nerve impulse travels across a synapse by diffusion. The neurotransmitter substance from the pre-synaptic cleft travels across the synapse via diffusion. This is then received by receptors in the post synaptic cleft
What is a small space across which an impulse travels to move from on neuron to another?
It's most likely called a synapse
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.
Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
How does an impulse cross a synape?
An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.
How is a stimulus transmitted across a synapse?
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.
Neural transmission across a mammalian synaptic gap is accomplished by?
impulses causing the release of a chemical signal and its diffusion across the synapse.
