Is a nerve message also called a synapse?

Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.


What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?

It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.


What is the point where two nerve processes meet?

The point where two nerve processes meet is called a synapse. At the synapse, a chemical or electrical signal is transmitted from one neuron to another, allowing for communication between nerve cells in the nervous system.
