  State the events in sequence that take place when an electrical impulse travels from a dendritic tip of a nerve cell to another nerve cell. or What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

Answer:

                  The information acquired at the end of dendritic tip of a nerve cell sets off a chemical reaction that creates an electrical impulse. This impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body and then along the axon to its end. At the end of the axon, the electrical impulse sets off the releases of some chemicals. These chemicals cross the gap or synapse and start a similar impulse in the dendrite of the next neuron.                                                              (2)
