What occurs when neurons are released into the synaptic cleft?
process of neural transmission starts
What is the space between neurons across which chemical messages pass?
synaptic gap
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
What is the best definition for a neurotransmitter?
The chemical messenger of the body is a neurotransmitter. They are chemicals that carry signals between neurons or from neurons to muscles. In the synaptic cleft, impulses are exchanged between two neurons.
What are synaptic gaps?
Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons.
What are the chemical messengers in your body called?
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that the neurons use. Neurons have certain parts...dendrites which receives information (about some stimulus or from another neuron)...axon is the part of the neuron that conducts/conveys the signal to the synaptic terminals. The synaptic terminals is the part of the neuron that releases the chemical messenger aka the neurotransmitters.
The part of the neuron that is responsible for receiving information signals from other neurons is called?
Dendrites are the part of a neuron which receives chemical messages (neurotransmitters) through synapses.Mostly the dendrites receive messages from other neurons, but the cell bodies of neurons also receive direct synaptic inputs from other cells.
What is the small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons?
synaptic cleft (also known as "synaptic gap")
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
Is it correct that synaptic clefts prevents an impulse from being transmitted directly from one neuron to another?
Yes, that is correct. The synaptic cleft is a small gap between neurons, and it prevents direct transmission of impulses. When an impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, allowing the impulse to be transmitted indirectly.
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.
What is the effect of the myelin sheath on synaptic transmission?
Myalin sheath gives insulation to the neurons. They also hasten the nerve conduction by saltatory conduction.
