Not exactly; as an impulse moves from one neuron to another it crosses a small space between the neurons called a synapse.
The neurons as said to 'not touch' because the cell MEMBRANES of the two neurons do NOT touch, nor merge, nor consequently is there any sharing of cytoplasm between the two neurons.
The two neurons ARE, however, HELD TOGETHER at that synapse by small molecules called SYNAPTIC ADHESION MOLECULES, which protrude FROM each neuron into the synaptic cleft or gap and then stick to one another. In this sense, PARTS of neurons do 'touch' PARTS of other neurons, in a MECHANICAL or structural manner, but NOT in an electrical or signal sense. The neural SIGNAL passes through the synaptic cleft or gap via neurotransmitter chemicals which are released by one neuron, diffuse quickly through the gap, and then stimulate a signal in the receiving neuron.
What else can I help you with?
Do neurons in your brain actually touch each other when receiving messages?
no. they do not.
Are neurons in contact with each other?
no
What happens when someones brain has a low level of neurotransmitters?
Neurons aren't able to communicate with each other.
If neurons don't touch each other how do they transmit impulses to each other?
Neurons transmit impulses to each other through synapses, which are small gaps between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrites of another. When an electrical impulse, or action potential, reaches the axon terminal, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters from vesicles into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing the impulse to continue. This chemical signaling enables communication between neurons despite their physical separation.
What are facts about neuron?
1) Neurons get used to each other,like neighbours. For example, the first time yout try to ride a bike the neurons are not used to each other,so you usually fall. After a lot of practice,the neurons start to get use to each other, and the next you you ride your bike you will ride perfectly because of your neurons. sorry i only have one reason........
Which of these brain cells send and return messages to each other?
Neurons send and return messages to each other.
How do neurons and neurotransmitters communicate with each other and with the body?
Chicken Butt!
The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?
Neurons can react to stimuli through electrical signaling, where they generate action potentials to transmit information along their length. They can also respond to chemical signals by releasing neurotransmitters at synapses to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
Why do some girls fist each other?
Because you touch yourself at night. And they touch each other.
Why normal distribution curve does not touch each other?
A single curve cannot touch "each other" since "each other" implies two curves.
What receives messages from other neurons and sends messages to other neurons?
messenger neurons
Do atoms ever physically touch each other?
No, atoms do not physically touch each other because they are surrounded by electron clouds that repel each other due to electromagnetic forces.
