Are motor neurons an electrical synapse?

no,motor neurons are not electrical synapse but are normal nerve cells.they help in transmission of electrical impulses from the site of stimulus towards the spinal cord.the impulses have to travel and cross certain spaces or junctions between two consecutive nerves,the axon bulb of one to dendrites of next neuron.


How neurons transmit electro chemical impluses to the brain?

When nerve cells or neurons are stimulated they undergo chemical changes which make little waves of electricity or nerve impulses. These are based mainly on the movement of positively charged sodium and potassium ions through the neurons cell membrane.When the impulses reach a junction-synapse-they trigger the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. These then cross the synapse and stimulate the receiving neuron to fire impules of their own. Dendrites collect nerve impulses and Axons convey impulses away from cell.


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.


This contains neurotransmitters that allow a signal to cross from one neuron to another?

A synaspe.. something like that lol


What is the space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross called?

The space between neurons where neurotransmitters cross is called the synapse. It serves as the junction between two communicating neurons, allowing for the transmission of chemical signals from one neuron to another.


What happens at the synapse between two neuron?

At the synapse, the electrical impulse between the two neutrons at synapse set of chain chemical reactions which create a chemical impulse at the synapse.


Are neurons chemical messages sent to the brain?

Neurons themselves are not chemical messages; rather, they are specialized cells that transmit electrical impulses. When a neuron communicates with another neuron, it releases neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that cross the synapse to relay information. These neurotransmitters can influence the activity of the receiving neuron, ultimately affecting how signals are processed in the brain. Therefore, while neurons send signals, the chemical messages are the neurotransmitters they release.


What is the small gap between neurons called?

The small microscopic gabs b/w the two neurons are called "Synapse". The conduction of nerve impulse through this synapse is made possible through Neurotransmitters. As the impulse reaches at the Pre-synaptic membrane the small vesicles release these Neurotransmitters which initialize the impulse in post-synaptic membrane.


What is property of synapse?

Here are some definitions of the word synapse: 1. The association of homologous chromosomes with chiasma formation that is characteristic of the first meiotic prophase and is held to be the mechanism for genetic crossing-over. 2. The definition of a synapse is the junction between two neurons or nerve cells where there is a small gap that neurotransmitters help nerve impulses to cross. 3. In popular culture, "synapse" is often used to describe a thought in a most artistic form, or even a "jerk reaction" to a certain stimuli. It would seem that the term means a place where two things (or ideas) come together or a union is formed. The synapse in the nervous system is a very tiny space when information is carried by neurotransmitters to allow the information to continue on.


A synapse consist of?

A synapse is the connection between two neurons. It consists of the synaptic cleft (the physical gap between one neuron's axon and the other's dendrite). Neurotransmitters cross the gap from the axon to the dendrite and affect whether the next neuron fires.


How do nerve impulses cross the gap between the axon and the next structure?

Curently unknown...


How do nerve impulses cross the gap between nerve cells?

When an electrical signal, or impulse, reaches the end of an axon it triggers chemicals called transmitters. The electrical signals then become chemical ones as the transmitters cross the synapse, the gap between an axon and a dendrite. When they reach the dendrite of another neuron they spark a new electrical signal that then travels the length of that nerve cell. And it does this over and over until it reaches its destination.
