Axons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the neuron cell body, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them toward the cell body. Axons are typically longer and have a myelin sheath for faster signal conduction, whereas dendrites are shorter and have branching structures to receive input from other neurons.
What else can I help you with?
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 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.
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 difference between an axon and a dendrite?
An axon is a long, slender projection that carries signals away from the cell body of a neuron, while a dendrite is a shorter, branching projection that receives signals from other neurons. Axons transmit electrical impulses, while dendrites receive these impulses and transmit them towards the cell body.
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 difference between a nerve dendrite and a nerve axon structurally?
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.
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.

Do neurotransmitters pass directly from the axon to the dendrite?
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
What is the space between dendrite and an axon called?

What is the space between a dendrite and axon called?

The synapse is a connection between what?
A synapse is the connection between a dendrite and an axon.
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.
What is the tiny space that lies between one axon and a dendrite?
Synapse.
What is the space between the transmitting axon and the receiving dendrite or cell body?
Synapse
What is the tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle called?
The tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals from the axon are transmitted to the dendrite or muscle through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
What is terminal branch of axon?
dendrite
