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
a chemical that transmits a nervous systems signal across a synapse.
synapse
By a chemical released by an axon.
A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.
synapse
no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites
chemical synapse
impulses causing the release of a chemical signal and its diffusion across the synapse.
a tiny electro-chemical charge passes from nerve endings called axons to nerve endings called dendrites
no
There is a connection between two brain cells, called a synapse. When it reaches the end of one cell, the electric impulse transforms itself into a chemical substance, and is transferred from one cell to another. When it reaches the second cell, it is again transformed intro an electric impulse.
