I wouldn't use the word "occur" since a synapse is a structure, not an event, but yes, it is located between nerve cells, or more specifically, it is where the dendrites of two nerve cells meet.

Gap between nerve cells?

The gap between nerve cells is called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from one nerve cell into the synapse and bind to receptors on the next nerve cell, allowing communication to occur between cells. This process is essential for transferring signals throughout the nervous system.

Where does nerve conduction deafness occur?

Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.


Where does a synapse occur?

Synapses occur at synaptic cleft (or also called as "synaptic gap"). The location of "synaptic cleft" depends on the types of synapses:axo-dendritic synapse : between axons and dendritesaxo-somatic synapse : between axons and cell bodiesaxo-axonic synapse : between axons and axonsdendro-denritic syanpse : between dendrites and dendrites

What is the chemical substance that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse?

Melination The myelin sheath means that the action potential can occur in between the schwann cells. Myelinated meurones conduct much quicker that non-myleinated neurones, even at speeds upto 120m/s


Is a neuron a molecule?

No, a neuron is not a molecule. Neurons are cells that make up the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals in the body. Molecules are made up of atoms and can form the building blocks of neurons and other cells in the body.


What are the sensations felt through the nerve cells in the skin?

free nerve endings, which are found in between the epidermal cells up to the stratnum granulosum they detect hot and cold tempratures and they can recognise other physical or chemical chainge that are above a safe level resulting in the perception of pain before damage can occur to the skin.


How is an impulse transmitted between neurons?

The point at which two neurones meet is called the synapse. At this point there are 2 situations:1: there is no gap, the neurones are physically connected by gap-junctions. This is a rarer situation but does occur. In this case the nerve impulse continues down the second neurone (known as the post-synaptic nerve)2: there is a small gap (a few micrometers) between the cells. In this case the first nerve, carrying the impulse, (pre-synaptic) causes a release of a chemical known as a neurotransmitter. There are various types of neurotransmitters and each are involved in different situations. When the neurotransmitter reaches the 2nd nerve it binds to the membrane (in most situations) which either causes the cell to depolarize and continue the impulse, or causes hypo-polarization which prevents any other nerve stimulating it.Short and Simple Answer:Nerve impulse is transmitted by:- nerve impulse triggers transmitter substance- which diffuses across synapse- the transmitter substance binds with receptor molecule in membrane of next molecule

What events occur in a neuron between the stimulus of a nerve and the stimulation of its target cell?

When a nerve is stimulated, its cell membrane is depolarised so that the inside of the cell becomes less negative. The potential is conducted along the axon to the axon terminal. At the dendrite it stimulates the release of a chemical transmitter, which diffuses across a synapse. The transmitter binds to receptor sites on the postsynaptic cell membrane to stimulate the generation of another impulse.
