nuerotransmitters
Neurotransmitters encased in vesicles and diffusing across the synaptic gap.
impulses causing the release of a chemical signal and its diffusion across the synapse.
not within the synaptic CLEFT (gap) itself, across which neurotransmitters diffuse, but yes, in the axon & axon terminal leading up to the synapse, and in the dendrite coming from the synapse.
A synapse is the gap between a neuron.
The space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another is called a synapse. It is a tiny gap between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, where neurotransmitters carry signals across the gap to continue the message.
It's a 'bridge' where the neurotransmitters jump from one neuron to the other. It is called synapse. This is a simple notion that I have about this subject. For a complete review involving this part of the brain and how it works see the link to "Neuron" below.
Synapse. The gap itself is called the synapticcleft.
A synapse is a structure that allows communication between neurons. Information is transmitted across the synapse through the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to changes in the postsynaptic neuron's electrical activity.
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
There are three ways to end chemical signaling across a synapse. In some cases, the neurotransmitter molecules simply diffuse away from the synapse. In others, enzymes located in the synaptic gap deactivate the neurotransmitters. Finally, neurotransmitters are taken up by the releasing neuron in a process known as reuptake.
