The space between the ending of one neuron and the communication with the next neuron is called the synapse, or sometimes it is called the synaptic gap or synaptic cleft. But synapse is the common term.

What word is used to describe a gap between two neurones?
The term used to describe the gap between two neurons is synapse, or synaptic junction.
What is the difference between an internode and node of ranvier?
A Node of Ranvier is the space between two myelinated segments on an axon, while an internode is the space between two Nodes of Ranvier (alternativenly, the myelinated segment).
How does your body create electricity?
The electrical potential difference between the interior of a cell and the external interstitial space is generated by the actions of the electrogenic Na-K Atpase. What does this mean in plain language? That in the cell membrane there are ion pumps that move sodium up it's concentration gradient using the energy in ATP to accomplish this.
What is it called when the distant between successive crest waves?
the distance between the crests of two succesive waves is called the wavelength. It is directly related to the frequency of the wave
The straight-line distance and direction between two points is called?
Displacement.
What is the point called where two neurons meet?
The space between two neurons is a synapse.
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
What is the space junction between two neurons called?
Synaptic cleft
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
What is junction between two neurons?
The synaptic cleft is the space between two neurons, they never actually touch each other.
What is the spce between two neurons where the axon of a sending neuron communicates with the dendrites of a receiving neuron by using chemical messages called?
The synapse is the space between pre- and post-synaptic neurons
What is the small space between one neuron and the next is called?
A synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters cross these gaps, carrying on the signal.
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
What is the junction called between 2 communicating neurons?
The connection between two neurons is not a true connection but a gap junction that is used by neurotransmitters between them.
What is the space between 2 neurons where electrical and chemical signals jump from neuron neuron?
It's a 'bridge' where the neurotransmitters jump from one neuron to the other. It is called synapse. This is a simple notion that I have about this subject. For a complete review involving this part of the brain and how it works see the link to "Neuron" below.
Small space between two neurons?
Part of the brain that integrates sensory information
