Gap between nerve cells?
SynapseSynapse.The gap between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell is called the synapse. Synapses are the space into which neurotransmitters are released from the axon to act on the dendrite, and thus transmit a signal between neurons.If the axon and the dendrite are from the same cell (i.e., the neuron is making a synapse with itself), this gap is called an autapse ("auto-synapse").Synapsea synapseA synapse or synaptic gap.Its a cool name.Neat huh?synapseSynapseSynapse
Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
What is the basic nerve cell called?
True. The basic nerve cell is also referred to as a neuron.
Why is median nerve called as labourer's nerve?
median nerve supplies the major flexors of forearm which are anti-gravity muscles.As a labourer always do anti-gravity works like pulling up loads etc.,the median nerve is also called labourer's nerve.
What is optic nerve head pallor also called?
Optic atrophy

How are messages carried through your nerves?
Nerve cells send electrical impulses called synapse. These electrical stimulations travel from cell to cell, up to the brain and back. Nerves also produce different types of chemicals to manipulate the synapse.
What is an axiscylinder?
An axiscylinder is another term for an axis cylinder, also known as an axon, a nerve fibre which is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, and which conducts nerve impulses away from the body of a cell to a synapse.
Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?
The synaptic gap, also called the synapse.
Which nerve is also called laborer's nerve?
Median nerve...
What can cause synapse to not function correctly?
An abnormally thin dendritic spine can yield poor neural impulse conduction; and drugs like LSD which mimic neurotransmitters may "clog" receptors & cause continued activation, I think. I suspect there could also be problems with the PRODUCTION of neurotransmitters or with the conveyance of vesicles containing NT to the synapse. Synapses are spaces or junctions between two neurons. The principle of synapse works on mechanism of neuro-transmitters and neuro-inhibitors. When a nerve impulse reaches the end of one neuron to travel to the next one, at that moment acetylcholine is produced in the synapse. Acetyl choline being a neurotransmitter helps to transmit the nerve impulse. Right after the nerve impulse has passed through the synapse, a neuroinhibitor such as cholinesterase si produced to stop the action of acetylcholine. At a particular synapse, these two chemicals are produced at a very high rate. This is how a nerve impulse works. But suppose if the production of these two chemicals is affected, the synapse will not function properly.
What is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation also called?
Electrical nerve stimulation
Where does a synapse occur?
Synapses occur at synaptic cleft (or also called as "synaptic gap"). The location of "synaptic cleft" depends on the types of synapses:axo-dendritic synapse : between axons and dendritesaxo-somatic synapse : between axons and cell bodiesaxo-axonic synapse : between axons and axonsdendro-denritic syanpse : between dendrites and dendrites
Why vagus nerve is called wandering nerve?
The tenth cranial nerve is called vagus nerve it is also called as wandering nerve.It has been called wandering nerve because of many areas it innervates. the vagus nerve wanders all the way down from the brainstem to the colon, a long wandering trek.
What do you call the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron?
The Synapse, also called the synaptic cleft.
A nerve cell can also be called a(an) .?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
The x cranial nerve is the nerve?
The CN X is the vagus also it is called pneumogastric nerve,the Wanderer or sometimes the Rambler
