Synapse
Synapse.
The gap between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell is called the synapse. Synapses are the space into which neurotransmitters are released from the axon to act on the dendrite, and thus transmit a signal between neurons.
If the axon and the dendrite are from the same cell (i.e., the neuron is making a synapse with itself), this gap is called an autapse ("auto-synapse").

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.
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.
How do nerve cells communicate with each other to transmit signals within the body?
Nerve cells communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a nerve cell is stimulated, it sends an electrical impulse down its length. At the end of the cell, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, a small gap between nerve cells. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the neighboring cell, triggering a new electrical impulse and continuing the signal transmission.

What is the thick nerve tissue that connects the brain to most of the nerves?
a gap between 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.

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.

At the end of the cell, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse, a small gap between nerve cells.
