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.


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.


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.

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.


How do you use dendrite in a sentence?

This can mean a branching nerve cell or a branching mineral. Here are some sentences.A dendrite carries a nerve signal along the body.That rock shows the branching pattern of a dendrite mineral.

What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?

Is dendron same as dendrite?

No, they are not the same. Dendron refers to the main projection of a nerve cell, while dendrite is a smaller branch extending from the dendron that receives signals from other nerve cells.


What receives neuron messages and sends them to the cell body?

The dendrite receives a stimulus and conducts the nerve impulse toward the cell body.
