A synapse
The small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released is called the synapse.
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.
Nerve cells are called neurons.
Neurons
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.
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.
