What else can I help you with?
What do we call the connections between the nerve cells?
An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.
What do you call the Space between two Nerves?
A synapse.
What is the space between 2 neurons where electrical and chemical signals jump from neuron neuron?
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.
What do you call the nerve of the nose that sends a message to the brain?
gustatory nerve
What is it called when a muscle contract involuntarily?
A twitch is when only one muscle is affected, usually the result of a nerve impulse, while a spasm is when multiple muscles contract involuntary, due to a chemical imbalance.
The junction between two neurons?
The junction between two neurons is called a synapse. It is a specialized connection where electrical signals are transmitted from one neuron to another through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Synapses play a crucial role in communication within the nervous system.
What do you call the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron?
The Synapse, also called the synaptic cleft.
What muscle in your body that moves on their own we call them involuntary muscle?
heart muscle
What is the nerve cell call?
It's a neuron
What do you call thick nerve fibers?
darnmna
What do you call the chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds on the dendrites of the other neurons or body cells?
The chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds to dendrites or cells is called a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons and regulating various physiological processes in the body.
What do you call the natural tension in the fibers of a muscle?
muscle tone
