The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
Small space between two neurons?
Part of the brain that integrates sensory information
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
What is the space between neurons?
Synapse
What is the point called where two neurons meet?
The space between two neurons is a synapse.
What is the space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross called?
The synapse
What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.
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.
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
How is an impulse transmitted from one neuron to the next?
Neurons communicate primarily in two ways: (1) electrical communication and (2) chemical communication. Neurons communicate electrically using gap junctions between neurons where electrical impulses are sent directly from one neuron to another. This is method is used for local communication as the electrical signal degrades over larger distances. Neurons communicate chemically using chemicals called neurotransmitters which are ejected from one neuron into a space between neurons (called the synapse) and are then absorbed or taken up by other neighboring neurons.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
Synaptic cleft
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
