The neurotransmitter, the impulse cannot be transmitted directly from the pre-synaptic neuron (sender) to the post-synaptic neuron ( receiver). Therefore a neurotransmitter is required to carry the message between these two, thus acting as a bridge.

What is the space between the sending and the receiving neuron called?

The space between the sending neuron's axon terminal and the receiving neuron's dendrite is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released into this space to transmit signals between neurons.


What is the junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron?

The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron is called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons.


Which action is an example of a cell membrane receiving and sending messages?

An example of a cell membrane receiving and sending messages is the process of signal transduction involving receptor proteins. When a signaling molecule, such as a hormone, binds to a receptor on the cell membrane, it triggers a conformational change that initiates a cascade of intracellular events. This can lead to the release of secondary messengers, which propagate the signal within the cell, effectively sending a message in response to the external signal.


What involves a cell membrane receiving and sending a message?

Cells of an organism tell each other when predators are nearby. :)


What is the spce between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages called?

The space between two neurons where communication occurs using chemical messages is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of the sending neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrites of the receiving neuron, facilitating the transmission of signals between the two.

what are the three process of communication?

the three elements of communication process are: -sender is the one who is sending the message. -receiver one who is receiving the message. -feedback to what are the aftereffects of your message.

How does non-repudiation ensure users cannot deny sending and or receiving data?

You can't deny receiving or not receiving a message with non-repudiation; it only has to do with who the sender of the message was. Because there is a mathematical relationship between public and private keys, if a sender uses their private key to send a message and the receiver uses the sender's public key to read it, then non-repudiation says that the sender had to have sent that message, and no one else (because no one else has the key pair).

Can a text message be cancelled?

It can as long as you cancel it while it's sending. After it's sent, then it's impossible to stop it from getting to the person receiving it.


Do transactional models of communication account for noise in your interactions with others?

Yes. Noise can be anything distracting the sender or receiver from sending or receiving the message.
