The tiny space between the axon terminal and the dendrite of another neuron is called the?
Synaptic Cleft.
The narrow space between the synaptic terminal and the muscle fiber is the?
synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitters are released by the synaptic terminal and bind to receptors on the muscle fiber to trigger a muscle contraction.
What is liberated into the synaptic cleft?
neurotransmitters
What is the small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons?
The small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons is called the synaptic cleft. This cleft allows for the transmission of chemical signals, known as neurotransmitters, from the pre-synaptic neuron to the post-synaptic neuron to occur. The neurotransmitters are released by the pre-synaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron to transmit the signal.
What is the space at the synapse called?
Synaptic cleft .
Space between a neuron and muscle?
synaptic cleft
What is the substance released into the synaptic cleft?
Neurotransmitters are the substances released into the synaptic cleft. They are chemical messengers that transmit signals across the synapse from one neuron to another.
The a synaptic knob b motor end plate c neuromuscular junction d synaptic cleft e transverse tubule contains vesicles filled with acetylcholine?
c) neuromuscular junction, d) synaptic cleft.
The transport mechanism for a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft is called?
The transport mechanism for a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft is called exocytosis. During exocytosis, neurotransmitter-filled vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane, releasing the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft where it can then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane.
Gap between axon terminal and muscle cell?
The gap between the axon terminal and muscle cell is called the synaptic cleft. It is defined as the small gap, measured in nanometers, between an axon terminal and any of the cell membranes in the immediate vicinity.
How are neurotransmitters broken down in the synaptic cleft?
Neurotransmitters are broken down in the synaptic cleft by enzymes called monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyltransferase, depending on the type of neurotransmitter. These enzymes break down neurotransmitters into metabolites that are either taken back up by the pre-synaptic neuron for recycling or diffused away.
The ion needed to initiate the release of a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft is?
Ca2+
