The structure that recevies an impulse from the dendrite is the?

Cell body.Impulses a received in the dendrite, go through the cell body and out to the axon, where they are transmitted to the next dendrite. Easy way to remember it, it's the alphabet backwards - Dendrite, Cell Body, Axon


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.


At what age does dendrite growth appear to stop?

Dendrite growth in the brain is thought to start to slow down in adulthood, around the age of 20-25. While some new connections can still form, the rate of dendrite growth decreases significantly compared to childhood and adolescence.


Part of the nerve cell that first receives the nervous impulse is the?

The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.


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.
