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 are found at the end of each axon?
Axon terminals, also called synaptic terminals or terminal boutons, are found at the end of each axon. These structures are responsible for transmitting signals to the dendrites of neighboring neurons or to a target cell. At the axon terminals, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft to facilitate communication between neurons.
What is the structure that connects two neurons?
The synapse. It's comprised of 3 parts: an end of the pre-synaptic neuron (called an axon terminal, or axon button), the beginning of the post-synaptic neuron (usually a dendrite, or often a dendritic spine), and the gap in between them (called the synaptic cleft).The synapse is held in place by small molecules called synaptic adhesion molecules, which protrude from each of the axon terminal and the dendrite, and stick together along parts of their lengths, like the two end joints of two fingers, one from each hand, laying against one another and glued together there.
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
Why does a rigid structure take up more space than a fluid structure?
A rigid structure takes up more space than a fluid structure because the molecules in a rigid structure are locked in place and cannot move past each other easily. In contrast, the molecules in a fluid structure can flow and change position, allowing them to occupy less space and adopt the shape of their container.

The neurolemma and the myelin of the myelinated axons are interrupted at regular intervals along the axon by?
The gap between each myelinated section of an axon is known the node of ranvier.
What is 4 9 5?
Three numbers in a line, with a space between each pair.Three numbers in a line, with a space between each pair.Three numbers in a line, with a space between each pair.Three numbers in a line, with a space between each pair.
What is the structure at the end of an axon that produces neurotransmitters?
The axon is a single process extending from the axon hillock, sometimes covered by a fatty layer called a myelin sheath that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body of the neuron.Distal tips of axons are telodendria, each of which terminates in a synaptic knob.
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.

What controls the amount of space between each letter?
The space between letters is controlled by the tracking or letter-spacing property in typography. This property allows for adjusting the spacing between characters to increase or decrease the space between each letter in a text.
The axon of each motor neuron has numerous endings are called what?
The tip of a neuron's axon culminates in several endings call terminal buttons. When an action potential is conducted down the axon, this is where it goes.
What is a bumcrack?

How many axons can a single Schwann cell myelinate?
Unlike oligodendrocytes Schwann cells can only myelinate one axon. But the number of Schwann cells it takes to myelinate an axon depends on the axon length as a Schwann cell only myelinates one area between pairs of Nodes of Ranvier. Think of it like a string of sausage. the sting is the axon, each sausage is where a single Schwann cell myelinates that axon, as stated the length will determine the total number of Schwann cells needed for myelination, but a Schwann cell can only myelinate one axon.
