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 else can I help you with?
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.
Is a nerve message also called a synapse?
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
What is a synapse and how does it function in the nervous system?
A synapse is a junction between two nerve cells where signals are transmitted. It functions by allowing the transmission of electrical or chemical signals from one nerve cell to another, enabling communication within the nervous system.
Space between nerve cells is called?
The space between nerve cells is called a synapse. It is the junction where electrical signals are transmitted from one nerve cell to another through neurotransmitter molecules.
What is the junction between an axon and another cell called?
electrical synapses
What is the name of the microscopic gsp between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another?
A synapse.
What transmits messages between nerve cells?
Nerve messages pass from the axon of one nerve into the dendrite of another through a space separating them called the synaptic cleft.
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.
A synapse is the space between what?
Usually from the axon of one nerve to the dendrite of another. The axon sends impulses away from the nerve body, and the dendrite receives impulses from other nerves.
In the human nervous system what is synapse?
It is the junction between terminal part of one axon and the dendrite of the adjacent neuron .Synapse helps in the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another neuron.
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 happens when a nerve cell is stimulated by another nerve cell?
they go nerve to nerve till it gets to the brain first is a nerve then the dendrite then the brian
What is the space between the dendrite and neuron where nerve pulses jump from one to the other called?
synapse
The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a?
The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a neuromuscular junction. This junction allows for communication between the nervous system and the muscular system, facilitating muscle contraction in response to nerve impulses.
Is a nerve message also called a synapse?
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
What is a point of junction between two nerve cells?
synapse
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.
