What is the connection between a neuron that transmits instructions from the cell body of one neuron to the next?
A neuron is a cell with many branches that attach on to others. Short receiving branches are known as dendrites, long transmitting branches are known as axons. This means that axons and dendrites connect with one another. Chemical fluctuations caused by positively charged ions (Na+ (sodium) and K+ (potassium) cause a phenomenon known as an action potential, which is how the neurons transmit information. Where the axon and dendrite meets is known as a synapse, and the space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft. The action potential, which is a shift in electrochemical charge, travels down the axon and upon reaching the synapse stimulates the production of some neurotransmitter.
What else can I help you with?
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of electrical activity called an action potential. This action potential travels along the length of the neuron's axon and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, allowing communication between neurons.
What is the difference between Neuron and synapse?
A neuron is a nerve cell. A synapse is a gap between the sending and receiving neurons, where there are neurotransmitters responsible for transporting chemicals to the receiving neuron. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger.)
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
What is the entire series of events through a three-neuron loop?
In a three-neuron loop, the first neuron sends a signal to the second neuron via a synapse. The second neuron processes the signal and sends it to the third neuron through another synapse. Finally, the third neuron integrates the signal and produces a response or transmits it further in the neural network.
Where does a neuron transmits it signals?
synapse

A motor neuron transmits signals to?
Muscle fibers
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?
The axon
What is the term for the neuron that transmits sensory information into the nervous system?
love
What is the name of a neuron that transmits a neural impulse from the central nervous system through the spinal cord to a muscle?
The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.
A synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called what?
The synapse between an axon terminal and a neuron cell body is called an axosomatic synapse. This is where the axon terminal of one neuron forms a connection with the cell body of another neuron.
Neuron transmits impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system?
afferent/sensory neurons
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
Which of these junctions represents the connection between the tip of a neuron and a skeletal muscle cell from which Acetylcholine diffuses?
Neuromuscular
