Mixed chemical electrical synapses are synaptic sites that feature both a gap junction and neurotransmitter release. ... neuron may play a role in regulating the ...

Chemical synapse

The synaptic cleft—also called synaptic gap—is a gap between the pre- and postsynaptic cells that is about 20 nm (0.02 μ) wide. The small volume of the cleft ...

Action potentials and synapses

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 ...

Synaptic Cleft

What is the synaptic cleft? The synaptic cleft, also known as the synaptic gap, is the space after the axon terminal of a neuron between the next target ...

Anatomy of the synaptic cleft

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 ...

The synapse (article)

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.

Synaptic Gap

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