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 are the differences between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neuron?
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.
In a three neuron reflex arc the afferent neurons synapse with?
The afferent neurons synapse with the interneuron.
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.
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 name of the tiny gap the neurotransmitter has to diffuse across to reach the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron?
the synapse
What neuron conducts impulses toward the synapse?
All neurons'impulsestravel to the synapse of the neuron. The synapse is the end of the neuron where theimpulsecantravelto another neuron or the any other receptor cell in the body.
What is sentence with the synapse?
A synapse is the gap between a neuron.
Which of the following is not a neuron-neuron synapse?
neuromuscular junction
what are the differences between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neuron?
Yes. A synapse by definition is the space (gap) between one neurons terminal buton and another neurons dendrites. So, the neuron with the terminal buton end is known as the pre-synaptic neuron and the neuron after the synapse is known as the post-synaptic neuron.
Junction where one neuron meets another called?
Synapse
Where does a neuron transmits it signals?
synapse
What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?
A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.
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.
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 the opening across one neuron communicates with another neuron is known as what?
Synapse
What is the part of neuron that facilitates synoptic transmission of signal to another neuron?
synapse
What is the place where a neuron communicate with a muscle fiber or gland or another neuron?
synapse
