synapse
The connection between two neurons is not a true connection but a gap junction that is used by neurotransmitters between them.
synaptic cleft (also known as "synaptic gap")
There are gap junctions which help the cells communicate with one another.
The small microscopic gabs b/w the two neurons are called "Synapse". The conduction of nerve impulse through this synapse is made possible through Neurotransmitters. As the impulse reaches at the Pre-synaptic membrane the small vesicles release these Neurotransmitters which initialize the impulse in post-synaptic membrane.
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
synapse
Two neurons
This gap is called the synaptic cleft.
the gooch
The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
Nerve pathways are slim, however neurones are small in size therefore the total amount of atoms in the impulse is enough to fit through a gap in the pathway of neurons
gap allows information to jump between neurons
neurotransmitters
The connection between two neurons is not a true connection but a gap junction that is used by neurotransmitters between them.
There is not just one chemical secreted into synapses (the gaps between neurons); instead, there are many chemicals secreted from the terminal buttons of neurons into the synapses. They are called "neurotransmitters."
synaptic gap
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
