What else can I help you with?
Do neurotransmitters pass directly from the axon to the dendrite?
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
What is the space between the axon of one cell a a dendrite of another is?
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
What are the main part of the neuron?
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
What are the three main part of a neuron?
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
The axon sending a neuron is separated from the dendrite of receiving neuron by a?
The axon sending a neuron is separated from the dendrite of the receiving neuron by a synapse. This small gap allows for the transmission of neurotransmitters, which are chemical signals that facilitate communication between neurons. When an electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse and bind to receptors on the dendrite of the receiving neuron, allowing the signal to be propagated.
What order is information passed through a neuron?
Dendrite to soma to axon ;)
Along a neuron the correct pathway for impulse conduction is?
Impulses are conducted along a neuron in one direction, from the dendrites to the cell body, then through the axon and to the axon terminals. This pathway ensures that signals are transmitted efficiently and effectively from one neuron to another or to an effector cell.
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, initiating a new electrical signal in the receiving cell.
What is the small space between an axon and a dendrite where information is exchanged called?
The small space between an axon and a dendrite where information is exchanged is called the synapse. At the synapse, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, facilitating communication between the two. This process is essential for transmitting signals throughout the nervous system.
Does a synapse separates the axion end of one neuron to the dendrite end?
Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
What part of a neuron sends a message?
Axon sends the message. Dendrite receives it.
What does a neuron look like?
The parts of a generic neuron are:- soma - cell body axon - upto 1 meter long dendrite - many
