Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be sent to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to ...

Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic ... neuron are heavily enriched in specialized membrane structures that are directly apposed to the glutamate ...

Neurons can also be categorized by their basic structure. Unipolar neurons have one ... junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms: chemical and ...

The conditions are controlled in two ways with chemical and nervous responses. A bundle of neurones is called a nerve. There are three main types of neurone: sensory, motor and relay. They have ...
