What happens at the synaps betwwen two neurons
Answers
Neuron is a part of a nerve cell which includes a long thread like structure having terminated ends called Axon which takes nerve impulses away from the cyton which is the main cell body containing large central nucleus and cytoplasm . Dendrites are extensions from cyton which collect nerve impulses and bring them towards the cyton .
The axons are very close to dendrites of other neurons . The junction between two neurons is called as Synapse and the place where the message is transferred is . The message is transfered into the gap between them called as Synaptic cleft .
When a part revives or recieves any impulse it's rapidly forwarded to the Cyton passing through the Axon , Dendrites and the Synaptic cleft causing immediate response .
Chemicals are released at the end of axon and this is caused by the electrical impulse. These chemicals cross the synapse and similar electrical impulses are created in the dendrite of the next neuron. Therefore, it can be said that the synapse allows the delivery of impulses from neurons to other cells.
This entire process takes place when neurotransmitter is diffused at the end points of the axon and towards the dendrite point of the other neuron. The chemo-receptors present in the dendron gets stimulated and the generation of signal continues.
What is Synapse ?
Synapse is defined as the point of contact between the terminal branches of axon of one neuron with the dendrite of another neuron. Synapse is a structure in a nervous system.
