Why is the synapse not a structural feature of a neuron?
Because it is a small gap between the axon of one neuron and the receiving dendrite of another neuron.
Does a synapse separates the axion end of one neuron to the dendrite end?
Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
What is synapses?
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
Small branched extension of a neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
dendrite
What are the small branchlike structures of the neuron that receive signals from receptors or other resources?
Dendrite
What is the input of the neuron structure?
A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
What is the small space between the end of one axon and the next neuron?
The Synapse is the area between an axon and a dendrite
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
What does the axon bulb do?
It starts the transmission of a neural signal from one neuron to another.An axon ends in an axon terminal, which ends in a small rounded tip called the axon bulb. Each terminal lies very close to either a dendrite or a cell body of another neuron, and the combination of the end of the first neuron, the beginning of the next, and the space between them is known as a synapse; when a neural impulse reaches the axon bulb, it is stimulated to release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (gap), which diffuse over to the second neuron, conveying the signal to the second neuron.
In the human nervous system what is synapse?
It is the junction between terminal part of one axon and the dendrite of the adjacent neuron .Synapse helps in the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another neuron.
Which part of the neuron transmits information to other cells?
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
What is the structure that connects two neurons?
The synapse. It's comprised of 3 parts: an end of the pre-synaptic neuron (called an axon terminal, or axon button), the beginning of the post-synaptic neuron (usually a dendrite, or often a dendritic spine), and the gap in between them (called the synaptic cleft).The synapse is held in place by small molecules called synaptic adhesion molecules, which protrude from each of the axon terminal and the dendrite, and stick together along parts of their lengths, like the two end joints of two fingers, one from each hand, laying against one another and glued together there.
