What is the space between 2 neurons where electrical and chemical signals jump from neuron neuron?

It's a 'bridge' where the neurotransmitters jump from one neuron to the other. It is called synapse.
This is a simple notion that I have about this subject. For a complete review involving this part of the brain and how it works see the link to "Neuron" below.

Nervous tissue contains specialized cells called?
Neurons are the conducting cells of nerve tissue. The neurons transmit the electrical charges and chemical signals via the synapses.
What are neural signals?
Neural Signals are the electrical potential carrying the information to be transmitted between neurons/dendrites. They also initiate chemical stimulation on the synapses to transfer/carry forward the message from/to brain.
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 passes corrective signals from cerebellum and basal nuclei to motor cortex for control of movement?
Neurons pass information back and forth via electrical and chemical signals.
Structure neurons that receives electrical signals?
Dendrites
A type of tissue that sends electrical signals through the body?
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons that use electrical signals to transfer impulses throughout the body.
What cells process and transmit most chemical signals?
Neurons
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by?
Rapid communication throughout the body is accomplished by neurons. A neuron is a cell that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
What type of neurone carry electrical signal to the brain?
Afferent neurons (also called sensory neurons) carry signals to the central nervous system and the brain. Efferent neurons (also called motor neurons) carry signals from the brain.
What is the area between two neurons?
Area between two neurons is called a synapse.In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell.neurons are cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells, and synapses are the means by which they do so.
How are electrical signals carried through the body?
Your nerves do. Your brain sends electrical signals through your nerves to your muscles to make you move. Signals from the far ends travel through nerves back to your brain, so you can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel.
