The synapse. It's comprised of 3 parts: an end of the pre-synaptic neuron (called an axon terminal, or axon button), the beginning of the post-synaptic neuron (usually a dendrite, or often a dendritic spine), and the gap in between them (called the synaptic cleft).
The synapse is held in place by small molecules called synaptic adhesion molecules, which protrude from each of the axon terminal and the dendrite, and stick together along parts of their lengths, like the two end joints of two fingers, one from each hand, laying against one another and glued together there.

The structure that connects two neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, the axon terminal of one neuron releases neurotransmitters that travel across the synaptic cleft to bind to receptors on the dendrites or cell body of the next neuron, transmitting electrical or chemical signals between the two neurons.

What is the name of the structure that connects the two chrimatids?
The structure that connects the two sister chromatids is called the centromere.
What connects sensory to motor neuron?
Interneurons(also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) are multipolar neurons that connects sensory neurons to motor neurons.
Neurons are classified by the?
Neurons are classified by their structure and function. Structurally, neurons can be categorized as sensory neurons, motor neurons, or interneurons. Functionally, neurons can be classified as excitatory or inhibitory based on the type of signals they transmit.
Structure neurons that receives electrical signals?
Dendrites
Neurons are classified on the basis of their structure as?
Neurons are classified into different types based on their structure as follows: multipolar neurons with many dendrites and a single axon, bipolar neurons with one dendrite and one axon, and unipolar neurons with a single process extending from the cell body that branches into dendrites and an axon.
What is the name of the structure that connects the two chrimatids?
The structure that connects the two sister chromatids is called the centromere.
What structure connects the two sides of the brains?
corpus callosum
What connects sensory to motor neuron?
Interneurons(also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) are multipolar neurons that connects sensory neurons to motor neurons.
What connects to sensory neurons?
You have three neurons in the reflex arc. You have the afferent, the intermediate and efferent neurons in the reflex arc. So the answer is intermediate neuron.
When classified according to structure all neurons are?
Afferent neurons
The point of communication between two neurons?
The point of communication between two neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, the sending neuron releases neurotransmitters into the tiny gap between the two neurons, which then bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, triggering an electrical signal to be sent down the receiving neuron. This process allows for communication and transmission of information between neurons in the brain and nervous system.
What is the name of the thick band of neurons that connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres?
The thick band of neurons that connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres is called the corpus callosum. It plays a crucial role in facilitating communication between the two hemispheres of the brain.
What connects the Neurons in the brain at the intersection?
Synapses are connections between neurons through which "information" flows from one neuron to another.
What connects the motor neurons to the sensory neurons?
What connects sensory and motor neuron is the impulse called interneuron or connector neuron are connected by means of electrical impulse called synape from sensory to motor neuron.
What connects the sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Interneurons connect sensory neurons to motor neurons in the central nervous system. The interneurons process and relay information received from sensory neurons to motor neurons, which then initiate a response or movement.
Neurons are categorized by?
Structure Unipolar Bipolar Multipolar AND FUNCTION sensory or afferent neurons Motor or efferent neurons
What hold neurons together?
Glia. Its a glue that connects one neuron to another.
