What happens at a synapses?

The transfers that happens in the synapses conduct biochemical information from the neuron cells. The synapse, or synaptic cleft is the gap between to neuron cells. Nerotransmitters are chemicals that are released from one neuron (known as the pre-synaptic) and bond to receptors on the receiving neuron (known as the post-synaptic). The transfers that happens in the synapses conduct biochemical information from the neuron cells.


The part of the neuron that normally receives stimuli is called?

The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.


What is the part of the neuron that receives impulses is called the?

Neural input happens at the dendrites (dendritic tree) of the neuron, but some neurons, notably the sympathetic, can receive input at the axon hillock (where the axon leaves the soma).


What happens if motor neurons are damaged?

Motor neuron involve the muscles. If they are damaged, then the muscle that they are connected to will not work.


Which is the correct sequence in a typical reflex?

Receptor ---> sensory neuron----> interneuron (at spinal cord)---->motor neuron---->effector. The Achelles tendon reflex is a good example of how this happens. You do send infromation to the brain in the form of an "incident report" but his is much slower.

What us synapse?

synapse are the microscopic gapes between the neurons where helps in passing of the chemicals from one neuron to other. A small amont of chemical substance is released from one neuron into the synapse and this chem. substance changes to electrical impluses and enters the dentrites of the other neuron.
