Leaping across synapse refers to the process of neurotransmission, where chemical signals (neurotransmitters) are released from one neuron and cross the synaptic gap to bind to receptors on a neighboring neuron. This process allows for communication between neurons, enabling the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system. The term emphasizes the dynamic and rapid nature of this signaling, which is essential for various brain functions, including learning and memory.
What else can I help you with?
What is the distance across a nerve synapse?
The distance across a nerve synapse is 20 nanometres or 2x10-8 metres
A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?
It is most definitely a synapse.
Does a neurotransmitter carry ATP across a synapse?
no
What are the reactions having a great time leaping across synapses?
The reactions having a great time leaping across synapses is not known well and people take estimates only.
The liquids that bridge the gap across the synapse are?
nuerotransmitters
What carries an impulse across a synapse to a muscle?
neurons?
Can impulses pass in 2 directions across a synapse?
no
How is a stimulus transmitted across a synapse?
Neurons are responsible for transmitting a stimulus across a synapse. The electric potential of the neuron is sensitive to changes in the resting state and sets off electric transmissions.
What is a synapse in a simple reflex action?
A synapse in a simple reflex action is a junction between two neurons where signals are transmitted. In a reflex action, when a stimulus triggers a sensory neuron, it sends a signal across a synapse to a motor neuron, which then causes a rapid response from a muscle or gland.
What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.
What are neurontransmitters?
a chemical that transmits a nervous systems signal across a synapse.
What is the space that impulses jump across by means of a transmitting chemical?
synapse
