Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
What is another name for the messages that travel across the nerve cell?
Synapse
What is responsible for transmission of nerve impulse across a synapse?
NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.
What helps carry nerve impluses across the synapse?
Neurotransmitters encased in vesicles and diffusing across the synaptic gap.
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 the area between neurons across which nerve impulses travel?
no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites
How does an impulse cross a synaptic gap between two nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters send the impulse across the synapse
Space between nerve cells is called?
Are you meaning between the buttons of the first nerve cell and the dendrites of the second one? If so, then it is called the synapse or synaptic cleft!
What is the space where neurotransmitters pass from nerve to nerve?
synapse
What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?
It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.
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.
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
A nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal of one neuron to another neuron across a synaptic gap.
