What is the thick nerve tissue that connects the brain to most of the nerves?
a gap between cells
Gap between nerve cells?
The gap between nerve cells is called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from one nerve cell into the synapse and bind to receptors on the next nerve cell, allowing communication to occur between cells. This process is essential for transferring signals throughout the nervous system.
How are neurotransmitters different from the impulse that travel along the bodies of nerve cells?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells at synapses, while impulses refer to the electrical signals that travel along the nerve cells themselves. Neurotransmitters bridge the gap between two nerve cells, whereas impulses are the electrical messages that travel along the length of a nerve cell.
What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?
a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
The space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another is called a synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between the cells.
What does Axons transmit?
Axons are nerve fibers which extend as long, slender projections from nerve cells. They transmit electrical and electrochemical signals across the gap at a junction(synapse) between them and the other cell.
The gap between schwarm cells in the peripheral system is called a?
The gap between Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system is called a node of Ranvier. These nodes play a critical role in signaling transmission along the nerve fibers by allowing for the rapid diffusion of ions.
Where is the signal to transferred to the association nerve cells?
The signal comes from the brain, down the spinal cord, and down to the nerve cells that need to send the stimulus signal. The signal also runs vice versa, up the spinal cord and into the brain.
How are signals transmitted using neurotransmitters in the human nervous system"?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry signals between nerve cells in the human nervous system. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it releases neurotransmitters into the synapse, the gap between nerve cells. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the receiving nerve cell, triggering a response and transmitting the signal. This process allows for communication and coordination within the nervous system.
What is the channel between animal cells?
The channel between animal cells is called a gap junction. Gap junctions allow for the direct exchange of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells, facilitating communication and coordination within tissues.
You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the?
You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the synapses. They are defined as a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.
Does the synapse occur between nerve cells?
I wouldn't use the word "occur" since a synapse is a structure, not an event, but yes, it is located between nerve cells, or more specifically, it is where the dendrites of two nerve cells meet.
