Are Gap Junctions Found in Plant Cells
There is a small gap between two synapsed neurons where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron. They provide open channels through the plasma membrane allowing ions and small molecules less than approximately a thousand daltons to diffuse freely between neighboring cells but preventing the passage of proteins and nucleic acids. Cell Cell Junctions Gap Junctions Article Khan Academy ASCII characters only characters found on a standard US keyboard. . Gap junctions which are found in most animal tissues serve as direct connections between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. A gap junction is formed using. The cell body contains a specialized structure the axon. In an electrical synapse presynaptic neuron membrane and postsynaptic neuron membrane come extremely closer to each other and connect by making a channel called gap junction as shown in figure 2. Dendrites receive signals fro...
