Nerve Impulse Transmission
... Transmission at the Synapse • There is a tiny gap between the synaptic knobs of one neuron and the dendrites of the next one. • This gap is called the synapse or synaptic cleft. • The nerve impulse needs to cross this gap and it does so by the release of special chemicals called neurotransmitters. ...
