synapticgapfunction

Mixed chemical electrical synapses are synaptic sites that feature both a gap junction and neurotransmitter release. ... synaptic structure and function, as well ...

When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, it causes neurotransmitter to be released from the neuron into the synaptic cleft, a 20–40nm gap ...

The synaptic cleft is a junction or small gap at which neurons communicate with each other. The synapse is a specialized connection between cells that ...

There is a small gap between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, and this gap is called the synaptic cleft.

(A) At electrical synapses, gap junctions between pre- and postsynaptic membranes permit current to flow passively through intercellular channels (see blowup).

2016年12月14日 — The main function of the synaptic cleft is to provide space for chemical transmission of messages from the nervous system. The synaptic cleft ...

Synaptic Gap. Dopamine bridges synaptic gaps between neurons to perpetuate electrochemical waves of action potentials, like any neurotransmitter. From: ...
