What is the spce between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages called?
The synapse is the space between pre- and post-synaptic neurons
What is the difference between Neuron and synapse?
A neuron is a nerve cell. A synapse is a gap between the sending and receiving neurons, where there are neurotransmitters responsible for transporting chemicals to the receiving neuron. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger.)
What is the junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron?
Synapse
Parts of a multipolar neuron its order of receiving nerve impulses?
write the following parts of a multipolar neuron in the correct order(1-8) of receiving and sending the nerve impulse. Start with the dendrites as number one.
What transmits impulse between sensory and motor neurons?
Nerve impulses are transmitted between neurons via neurotransmittors that are released into the synapse by the sending neuron. The neurotransmittor then binds to a receptor on the receiving neuron; when enough receptors are triggered, an action potential is initiated on the receiving neuron.
What bridge the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
neurotransmitters

What is the junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron?
Synapse
If a signal from a sending neuron makes the receiving neuron more negative inside?
The receiving neuron is less likely to generate action potential.
What neuron is before a synapse?
The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse).
What is the tiny electrical charge that exists when a neuron is neither receiving nor sending information?
a resting potential
Parts of a multipolar neuron its order of receiving nerve impulses?
write the following parts of a multipolar neuron in the correct order(1-8) of receiving and sending the nerve impulse. Start with the dendrites as number one.
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.
What transmits impulse between sensory and motor neurons?
Nerve impulses are transmitted between neurons via neurotransmittors that are released into the synapse by the sending neuron. The neurotransmittor then binds to a receptor on the receiving neuron; when enough receptors are triggered, an action potential is initiated on the receiving neuron.
What is synaptic delay?
Synaptic delay is the period of time for neurotransmitter chemicals released from the axon terminus of the sending neuron to cross the synaptic gap by diffusion and attach to matching receptors on the receiving neuron, initiating a reaction (either stimulatory or inhibitory) in that neuron.
What bridges the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?
The neurotransmitter, the impulse cannot be transmitted directly from the pre-synaptic neuron (sender) to the post-synaptic neuron ( receiver). Therefore a neurotransmitter is required to carry the message between these two, thus acting as a bridge.
