A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.


What is the difference between central station and junction?

The difference between central and junction stations are their locations. A junction station is usually close to a junction station while central stations are not.


What does contiguous mean in relationship of connection a neuron to a muscle?

In the context of the relationship between a neuron and a muscle, "contiguous" refers to the direct physical and functional connection that allows for communication between the two. Specifically, this connection occurs at the neuromuscular junction, where the axon terminal of a motor neuron is in close proximity to the muscle fiber, enabling the transmission of signals. This close relationship is essential for muscle contraction, as the neuron sends neurotransmitters that trigger the muscle to respond. Thus, contiguous highlights the importance of this direct link in facilitating movement.

What are electrical junctions in the human body?

Electrical junctions in the human body are where the axons of nerves (singly called neurons) send a chemical to the dendrite(s) of nearby neuron(s), said chemical creating a weak electrical current in the next neuron. These neuron to neuron junctions are called, "Synapses".


What is the space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron?

The space where the terminal branches of an axon are close to but not touching the ends of the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they then bind to receptors on the dendrites of the receiving neuron to transmit the nerve signal.


What does the neuromuscular junction consist of?

the axon terminal coming into close proximity to a muscle fiber


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.


When does the dollar tree close?

You will have to contact your local store, but the stores around here close anywhere between 9 and 10, depending on the day of the week. Sundays they close at 6 though I think.


How does the nerve signal move through the neuron?

in transmitting a nerve signal such as from your hand to your brain, several neurons are involved. Nerve cells can receive and transmit signals.the dendrites of one neuron are close to the axon of another neuron. The point where neurons meet is called a synapse
