What is the tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle called?
The tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals from the axon are transmitted to the dendrite or muscle through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
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.
Do neurotransmitters pass directly from the axon to the dendrite?
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
A synapse is the space between what?
Usually from the axon of one nerve to the dendrite of another. The axon sends impulses away from the nerve body, and the dendrite receives impulses from other nerves.
What do we call the connections between the nerve cells?
An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.
What is the space between a dendrite and axon called?

What is the space between the axon of one cell a a dendrite of another is?
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
What is the gap between a dendrite and an axon tip called?
The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.
What is the tiny space that lies between one axon and a dendrite?
Synapse.
What is the space between the transmitting axon and the receiving dendrite or cell body?
Synapse
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.
The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
Do neurotransmitters pass directly from the axon to the dendrite?
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
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.
