What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the gap between the transmitting and receiving neuron in a chemical synapse?
synaptic cleft
What is the name of the junction between the neurons?
synapases
What is the scientific name for a junction between two neurons?
A synapse
What is the name of the small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released?
The small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released is called the synapse.
What is the name given to reflexes that involve more than 2 neurons?
The name given to reflexes that involve more than 2 neurons is polysynaptic reflexes. These reflex arcs consist of multiple interneurons between the sensory and motor neurons, allowing for more complex and coordinated responses.
Another name for nerve cell?
Nerve cells are called neurons.
What is another name for receptors?
Neurons
Name the longest animal cell?
The longest animal cell is the nerve cell, also known as a neuron. Neurons can vary in length, with some reaching up to 1 meter in the human body. They are specialized for transmitting electrical impulses and information throughout the body.
What is another name for an efferent neuron?
Another name for an efferent neuron is a motor neuron. These neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs in the body, enabling them to respond to stimuli.
What is another name for receptor cells?
Neurons
What is the scientific name of nerves?
The scientific name for nerves is "neurons." Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information throughout the body in the form of electrical signals.
What is the transmission zone of a neuron?
I have never heard of the term 'transmission zone' (which may be someone's personal name for what I'm about to explain) but neurons send their chemical signals across what is known as a synapse, the region where the axon of one neuron meets up with another neuron (most often a dendrite). The space between these two neurons (the non-neuron space in the synapse) is called the synaptic cleft. Through this space, neurotransmitters pass through and act on the receiving neuron once they reach it.
