This area is referred to as the synaptic cleft. This area is bound by the end of one neuron (the terminal bouton) and the post-synaptic membrane of the next neuron. When an action potential reaches the terminal bouton, Ca2+ influx triggers the release of neurotransmitters across the cleft, which bind to receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, allowing for an post-synaptic excitatory potential (PSEP) to be formed in the next neuron.

What is the space between two nerons that are connected is called?

The space between two connected neurons is called a synapse. This is where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to transmit signals to the next neuron.


The space between the tip of the axon and the next structure?

The space between the tip of the axon and the next structure is called the synaptic cleft. This is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the next structure, which can be another neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. This communication between neurons at the synaptic cleft is essential for transmitting signals in the nervous system.


What is the space between terminal button and dendrite?

The space between the terminal button of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the terminal button and diffuse across this space to bind to receptors on the dendrite, allowing communication between the two neurons.


How is the message carried from one neuron to another if there is a space between them?

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.


Space where the nerve impulse jumps from one neuron to another?

Synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to carry signals from one neuron to another. This process is essential for communication between neurons in the nervous system.

Yes, a synapse is the space (a VERY SMALL one!) between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next neuron.


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.

The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
