Question
impulses are transmitted down the axon from one cell nerve to another across a gap, through a process called _________.
synapse
dendrite
node of ranvier
A synapse is the gap between two neurons (nerve cells). Nerve impulses are transmitted across this gap from one neuron to another. A dendrite is a part of a neuron that receives signals. The Node of Ranvier is a gap in the myelin sheath of a nerve fiber that aids in the rapid conduction of nerve impulses along the axon but is not related to transmission between neurons across a gap.
