What else can I help you with?
What type of synapse uses neurotransmitter?
Chemical Synapse
What is the chemical secreted into the gap between neurons at the synapse?
The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
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 is the relationship between a synapse and neurotransmitter?
Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. At a chemical synapse, one neuron releases a neurotransmitter into a small space (the synapse) that is adjacent to another neuron.
What type of chemicals moves across the space between two nerve cells?
chemical synapse
Does a neurotransmitter carry ATP across a synapse?
no
What is the direct role of neurotransmitter at a chemical synapse?
At a chemical synapse, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to specific receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's membrane. This binding triggers changes in the postsynaptic cell, such as the opening of ion channels, leading to either excitatory or inhibitory effects depending on the type of neurotransmitter involved. This process facilitates communication between neurons, allowing for the transmission of signals throughout the nervous system. Ultimately, neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes and behaviors.
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
Function membrane receptor at chemical synapse?
Membrane receptors at a synapse are ligand-gated ion channels that open and allow sodium ions to flow into the neuron upon binding of the neurotransmitter ligand to generate an action potential in the neuron.
The synapse is crossed because of the presence of?
Neurotransmitters that cause a chemical change and hence generat impulse in the dendrites of adjacent neurons. most common neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
What is the area between neurons across which nerve impulses travel?
no, synapse. node of ranvier is between axon and dendrites
What would happen if the re-uptake of a stimulatory neurotransmitter was blocked?
The action of the excitatory neurotransmitter will increase, since its concentration in the synapse will rise.
