There are three ways to end chemical signaling across a synapse. In some cases, the neurotransmitter molecules simply diffuse away from the synapse. In others, enzymes located in the synaptic gap deactivate the neurotransmitters. Finally, neurotransmitters are taken up by the releasing neuron in a process known as reuptake.

What is responsible for transmission of nerve impulse across a synapse?
NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.
On which direction does an impulse go across a synapse?
An impulse travels in one direction across a synapse, from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron. This ensures that the signal transmission in the nervous system is unidirectional.
Neural transmission across a mammalian synaptic gap is accomplished by?
impulses causing the release of a chemical signal and its diffusion across the synapse.
What is the distance across a nerve synapse?
The distance across a nerve synapse is 20 nanometres or 2x10-8 metres
A small space across which an impulse travels to move from one neuron to another?
It is most definitely a synapse.
What is a Secretory synapse?
A secretory synapse is a type of synapse where the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters into the extracellular space rather than across a synaptic cleft to act on a postsynaptic neuron. This communication occurs through volume transmission, allowing for more widespread and diffuse signaling compared to conventional synaptic transmission. Examples include neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus that release hormones into the bloodstream.
Does a neurotransmitter carry ATP across a synapse?
no
What direction does the transmission crsoss a synapse?
axon to dendrete
Can impulses pass in 2 directions across a synapse?
no
The liquids that bridge the gap across the synapse are?
nuerotransmitters
What carries an impulse across a synapse to a muscle?
neurons?
What is junction between two neurons?
The junction between two neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, the electrical signal in the first neuron (presynaptic neuron) is converted into a chemical signal in the form of neurotransmitters, which then travel across the synapse and are received by the second neuron (postsynaptic neuron) to continue the signal transmission.
