What is the point at which a nerve impulse is sent from one nerve cell to another?
It diffuses across a small gap called a synapse between the two nerve cells. It is passed as a neurotransmitter (in chemical sacs). They reach the end of one cell and the impulse is converted into neurotransmitters, which are released from that cell, diffuse across the gap, and land on the receptor site, where they are converted back into electrical impulses.

What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
The space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another is called a synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between the cells.
What is the correct order that information passes through in a neuron?
The flow of information across nerve cells is called a nerve impulse in which the axons of the cell must depolarize, repolarize and go through a refractory period before reaching the resting potential. At this point, another impulse can occur.
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, initiating a new electrical signal in the receiving cell.
What is the membrane of a nerve cell is comprised of?
Its main function is to propagate the action potential (the 'impulse') along the length of the axon.
Describe the path a nerve impulse travels throughout your body from stimulus to response?
Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineAcetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to muscle contraction
What is the location from which a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to another?
synapse
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another?
synapse
What direction does nerve impulse travel?
Along a nerve cell, the impulse travels from the axon to the dendrites and then again to the axons through the synapse.
What is the space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another called?
The space through which a nerve impulse passes from one nerve cell to another is called a synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between the cells.
What is impulse in the nervous system?
electrical wave conducted along the nerve generated by the voltage difference across the cell membrane of the nerve cells.
How is an impulse communicated from nerve cell to nerve cell?
Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.
What is the correct order that information passes through in a neuron?
The flow of information across nerve cells is called a nerve impulse in which the axons of the cell must depolarize, repolarize and go through a refractory period before reaching the resting potential. At this point, another impulse can occur.
What does the axial do?
Carry a nerve impulse to the next nerve OR to an effector cell.
Is a nerve message also called a synapse?
Nerve messages are called an impulse. Synapses are the space between two axons.
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?
A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, initiating a new electrical signal in the receiving cell.
What does the axial filament do?
Carry a nerve impulse to the next nerve OR to an effector cell.
What carries impulse toward a nerve cell?
blood
