What is the name of the small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released?
The small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released is called the synapse.
Space between nerve cells is called?
The space between nerve cells is called a synapse. It is the junction where electrical signals are transmitted from one nerve cell to another through neurotransmitter molecules.
As the action potential frequency in a presynaptic neuron increases the number of vesicles undergoing exocytosis and the number of released neurotransmitter molecules?
Increases, leading to more neurotransmitter release at the synapse. This can result in a stronger postsynaptic response in the receiving neuron.
During neurotransmission when the electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon it crosses a gap called a?
The impulse itself does not actually cross the gap, which is called a synapse by the way, instead it stimulates the realease of a neurotransmitter from vesicles. When the neurotransmitter reaches the other side of the synapse it binds proteins on the opposing membrane and in doing so stimulates the membrane to continue the action potential on the mect cell.
Is the determination of whether a synapse is excitatory or inhibitory based on what factor?
The determination of whether a synapse is excitatory or inhibitory is based on the type of neurotransmitter released at the synapse. Excitatory synapses release neurotransmitters that promote the firing of the receiving neuron, while inhibitory synapses release neurotransmitters that prevent the firing of the receiving neuron.
What is the name of the small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released?
The small space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released is called the synapse.
What type of synapse uses neurotransmitter?
Chemical Synapse
What is the role of neurotransmitter at a chemical synapse?
exocytosis
Does a neurotransmitter carry ATP across a synapse?
no
Space between nerve cells is called?
The space between nerve cells is called a synapse. It is the junction where electrical signals are transmitted from one nerve cell to another through neurotransmitter molecules.
What is the chemical secreted into the gap between neurons at the synapse?
The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
As the action potential frequency in a presynaptic neuron increases the number of vesicles undergoing exocytosis and the number of released neurotransmitter molecules?
Increases, leading to more neurotransmitter release at the synapse. This can result in a stronger postsynaptic response in the receiving neuron.
What is the relationship between a synapse and neurotransmitter?
Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. At a chemical synapse, one neuron releases a neurotransmitter into a small space (the synapse) that is adjacent to another neuron.
What would happen if the re-uptake of a stimulatory neurotransmitter was blocked?
The action of the excitatory neurotransmitter will increase, since its concentration in the synapse will rise.
How is transmission across the synapse halted?
There are three ways to end chemical signaling across a synapse. In some cases, the neurotransmitter molecules simply diffuse away from the synapse. In others, enzymes located in the synaptic gap deactivate the neurotransmitters. Finally, neurotransmitters are taken up by the releasing neuron in a process known as reuptake.
Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?
neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
When neurotransmeter released from nerv terminal?
After the neurotransmitter is released from the nerve terminal, it moves across the synapse. At that point, the neurotransmitter may bind with receptors.
