∙ 13y agoThe space between neurons is called a synapse; it is where chemical information in the form of neurotransmitters is passed between neurons. Some neurons are connected electrically; the spaces between those neurons are called gap junctions.

∙ 13y agoThe synapse, which is usually a chemical synapse, but may be an electrical synapse.
In the case of a chemical synapse, or synaptic cleft, chemical messengers called neurotransmitters travel across a very small space between cells, sending a message to change the membrane voltage potential of the post-synaptic cell.
In an electrical synapse the pre-synaptic cell is connected to the post-synaptic cell by channels, allowing voltage changes to pass freely from the pre-synaptic cell to the post-synaptic cell.

The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
Synaptic cleft
What are neurons with two processes classified as?
Neurons with two processes are classified as bipolar neurons.
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
What is the point called where two neurons meet?
The space between two neurons is a synapse.

A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.

What two objects in space is an astronomical unit defined form?
An astronomical unit is the average distance that separates two bodies in space. The two objects linked to an astronomical unit is the sun and the earth.
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
What is the spce between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages called?
The synapse is the space between pre- and post-synaptic neurons
What layer of the Earth separates us from space?
The atmosphere separates us. It is a pool of gases.
