This gap is called a synaptic gap and a chemical called a neurotransmitter is used as a bridge over the gap.
This message is carried via neurotransmitters. There are several types. Some speed up the transmission or slow it down or even stop it. They are like chemical bridges.

What message moves from one end of a neuron to another in the form of what?

resting potential


Space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another?

The space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another is called a synapse. It is a tiny gap between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, where neurotransmitters carry signals across the gap to continue the message.


What is the purpose of neurotransmitters-?

A neuron is a cell that is in the brain and it contains neurotransmitters. They are released from one neuron in order to send a message to another cell.


What bridges the gap between a neuron sending a message and the neuron receiving it?

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that bridge the gap, known as the synaptic cleft, between a neuron sending a message (presynaptic neuron) and the neuron receiving it (postsynaptic neuron). These neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron in response to an electrical signal and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing changes in its electrical activity.


What begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment true or false?

From the axon terminal of another neuron, a bunch of chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released and travel across the synapse (junction of two neurons). If enough stimulate the second neuron, the total energy triggers another action potential. Short and simple explanation--message me if you want more info!

How is the message caried from one neuron to another it there is a space between them?

The synaptic gap is the space between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of the next. The impulse is carried across this space by chemicals called neurotransmitters which conduct the electrical impulse.

Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?

A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.
