What is the microscopic space that separates the axon of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron?
a Synactic Cleftsynaptic cleft
How is the message caried from one neuron to another it there is a space between them?
The synaptic gap is the space between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of the next. The impulse is carried across this space by chemicals called neurotransmitters which conduct the electrical impulse.
What is the space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron?
The Synaptic Gap
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 neuron connects an afferent neuron to an efferent neuron?
Afferent neurons go to the Brain while efferent neurons go down
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
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
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.
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 part of neuron that receive a signals from other neurons?
Yes. They interact with each other via chemical "signals" called neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. In this way, a neuron sends an excitatory (stimulating) or inhibitory (destimulating) signal to another neuron to cause it to generate a nerve impulse or prevent it from generating one, respectively.
What is the space between two neurons called?
The space between the ending of one neuron and the communication with the next neuron is called the synapse, or sometimes it is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft. But synapse is the common term.
How does a signal travels down a neuron?
Best Answer: They make chemicals that are gas-like. Neurotransmitters.
