What else can I help you with?
What is the space between the axon of one cell a a dendrite of another is?
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
Does a synapse separates the axion end of one neuron to the dendrite end?
Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.
What is synapses?
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows information to pass from one neuron to the next.
Small branched extension of a neuron that carries impulses toward the cell body?
dendrite
What are the small branchlike structures of the neuron that receive signals from receptors or other resources?
Dendrite
Where are neurotransmitters released?
Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of a neuron into the synaptic cleft, which is the small gap between the axon terminal and the dendrite of a neighboring neuron. neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, transmitting the signal.
What is the gap between a dendrite and an axon tip called?
The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.
What is the small space between the end of one axon and the next neuron?
The Synapse is the area between an axon and a dendrite
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
Where do synaptic vesicles discharge their contents by exocytosis?
Synaptic vesicles discharge their contents by exocytosis into the synaptic cleft, which is the small gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. This allows for neurotransmitters to be released and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, transmitting signals between neurons.
What does the axon bulb do?
It starts the transmission of a neural signal from one neuron to another.An axon ends in an axon terminal, which ends in a small rounded tip called the axon bulb. Each terminal lies very close to either a dendrite or a cell body of another neuron, and the combination of the end of the first neuron, the beginning of the next, and the space between them is known as a synapse; when a neural impulse reaches the axon bulb, it is stimulated to release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (gap), which diffuse over to the second neuron, conveying the signal to the second neuron.
Why is the synapse not a structural feature of a neuron?
The synapse is the functional junction between two neurons where communication occurs, but it is not a part of the neuron's physical structure. Neurons are the individual cells that make up the nervous system and consist of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The synapse is the space between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to signal information transfer.
