What is the gap between a dendrite and an axon tip called?
The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.
What is the junction between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell?
No, not at all. The axon is the transmitting end of a neuron, and a dendrite is the receiving beginning of another neuron.The axon sends its signal "through" a synapse between the axon terminal and a dendrite via chemicals called neurotransmitters that it releases into the synaptic space, which diffuse to and are taken into structures on dendrites called ligand-gated ion pores, which open to allow sodium ions into the dendrite, which change its electrical charge, which initiates the propagation of a corresponding signal along the dendrite and cell body toward the axon hillock, which, if enough signals from dendrites reach it, will then fire and send the nerve signal onward along the axon, as an action potential.
What is the space between the axon of one cell a a dendrite of another is?
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
The single long strand that comes out of the other side of the cell body is called the?
axon-kenyonthanks ya kenyon-lexi
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a?
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron is called a synapse. This is where communication occurs between neurons through the release and reception of neurotransmitters. The synapse is a crucial point for signal transmission in the nervous system.
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
What is the gap between a dendrite and an axon tip called?
The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.
The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
Gap between axon terminal and muscle cell?
The gap between the axon terminal and muscle cell is called the synaptic cleft. It is defined as the small gap, measured in nanometers, between an axon terminal and any of the cell membranes in the immediate vicinity.
The junction between each axon tip and the next structure?
the but
What is synap?
A "synape" is a misspelled synapse.
What is the junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron?
The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron is called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons.
What is the junction between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell?
No, not at all. The axon is the transmitting end of a neuron, and a dendrite is the receiving beginning of another neuron.The axon sends its signal "through" a synapse between the axon terminal and a dendrite via chemicals called neurotransmitters that it releases into the synaptic space, which diffuse to and are taken into structures on dendrites called ligand-gated ion pores, which open to allow sodium ions into the dendrite, which change its electrical charge, which initiates the propagation of a corresponding signal along the dendrite and cell body toward the axon hillock, which, if enough signals from dendrites reach it, will then fire and send the nerve signal onward along the axon, as an action potential.
What do we call the connections between the nerve cells?
An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.
