Neurons are separated by a small gap called the synapse. This junction allows for the transmission of signals between neurons through the release of neurotransmitters from the axon terminal of one neuron, which then bind to receptors on the dendrites of the next neuron. This process enables communication within the nervous system, facilitating various functions such as reflexes and sensory processing.
Afferent Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons.
Synapses
interneuron
Yes, they are.
sensory neurons
Sensory Neurons
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Afferent Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons.
The space that separates two neurons is called the synaptic cleft. It is a small gap where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and travel across the cleft to bind to receptors on the dendrites of another neuron. This process facilitates communication between neurons, allowing signals to be transmitted throughout the nervous system.
Motor neurons and intern neurons
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
Synapses
Sensory Neurons
Interneurons or association neurons are connector neurons that establish connections between other neurons.
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
