What is synap?

A "synape" is a misspelled synapse.


Where do the axons and dendrites meet?

Axons and dendrites meet at the synapse, which is the junction between two neurons. The axon terminal of one neuron releases neurotransmitters that bind to receptors on the dendrites of the adjacent neuron, facilitating communication between the two cells. This connection is crucial for transmitting signals throughout the nervous system.

What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?

The three main structures of a neuron are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, the dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or cells.


What is the difference between a nerve dendrite and a nerve axon structurally?

The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.

How does an axon release neurostransmitter?

An axon sends signal from dendrites to terminals to release neurotransmitters


What is the junction between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell?

No, not at all. The axon is the transmitting end of a neuron, and a dendrite is the receiving beginning of another neuron.The axon sends its signal "through" a synapse between the axon terminal and a dendrite via chemicals called neurotransmitters that it releases into the synaptic space, which diffuse to and are taken into structures on dendrites called ligand-gated ion pores, which open to allow sodium ions into the dendrite, which change its electrical charge, which initiates the propagation of a corresponding signal along the dendrite and cell body toward the axon hillock, which, if enough signals from dendrites reach it, will then fire and send the nerve signal onward along the axon, as an action potential.
