What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?

It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.

What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
A nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal of one neuron to another neuron across a synaptic gap.
What is neurotransmitter and give examples?
A chemical that is released from a nerve cell which thereby transmits an impulse from a nerve cell to another nerve, muscle, organ, or other tissue. A neurotransmitter is a messenger of neurologic information from one cell to another.
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?
one axon to a dendrite...
What is the correct order that information passes through in a neuron?
The flow of information across nerve cells is called a nerve impulse in which the axons of the cell must depolarize, repolarize and go through a refractory period before reaching the resting potential. At this point, another impulse can occur.
Microscopic fiber that carries the nervous impulse along a nerve cell?
axon
What is the location from which a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to another?
synapse
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another?
synapse

What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.

What is impulse in the nervous system?
electrical wave conducted along the nerve generated by the voltage difference across the cell membrane of the nerve cells.
How is an impulse communicated from nerve cell to nerve cell?
Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.

What does the axial do?
Carry a nerve impulse to the next nerve OR to an effector cell.
What does the axial filament do?
Carry a nerve impulse to the next nerve OR to an effector cell.
What carries impulse toward a nerve cell?
blood
