What is snapse?
A "synapse" is the gap between neurons in the brain. Since the brain is not hard wired, and the neurons are only connected by a chemical synapse, the brain can be "re-wired" to act in a way it did not before. This is how we are able to learn and perfect new skills.
What word is used to describe a gap between two neurones?
The term used to describe the gap between two neurons is synapse, or synaptic junction.
What is the space between two neurons called?
The space between the ending of one neuron and the communication with the next neuron is called the synapse, or sometimes it is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft. But synapse is the common term.
What role to polarity and action potential play in sending out nervous signals?
Polarity refers to the difference in charge across a neuron's membrane, which is essential for generating an action potential. When a neuron is stimulated, depolarization occurs, leading to a rapid influx of sodium ions and a transient reversal of polarity. This action potential propagates along the axon, allowing the transmission of electrical signals. Ultimately, the action potential triggers neurotransmitter release at the synapse, facilitating communication between neurons.
Once a sympathetic preganglionic axon reaches a trunk ganglion what can it do?
it can 1. synapse with a ganglionic neuron in the same trunk ganglion, 2. ascend or descend the sympathetic trunk to synapse in another trunk ganglion or 3. pass through the trunk ganglion and emerge from the sympathetic trunk without synapsing The answer: Synapse with a parasympathetic neuron in the same trunk ganglion
What is the chemical secreted into the gap between neurons at the synapse?
The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
How do impulses cross synapse between neurons?
By a chemical released by an axon.
What is the area between neurons across which nerve impulses travel?
no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
The space junction between two neurons is called a synapse. It is a small gap where the electrical signal in the form of an action potential is converted into a chemical signal in the form of neurotransmitters to allow communication between neurons.
What is the difference between Neuron and synapse?
A neuron is a nerve cell. A synapse is a gap between the sending and receiving neurons, where there are neurotransmitters responsible for transporting chemicals to the receiving neuron. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger.)
What is the connection between neurons called?
A synapse.
The site of intercellular communication between neurons is the?
the synapse
What is the space between neurons?
Synapse
What is junction between two neurons?
The junction between two neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, the electrical signal in the first neuron (presynaptic neuron) is converted into a chemical signal in the form of neurotransmitters, which then travel across the synapse and are received by the second neuron (postsynaptic neuron) to continue the signal transmission.
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
