Question
____________ is the chemical junction between the terminus of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron.
- Stimulus
- Synapse
- Neurons
- Interneurons
Hint:
Synapse is the small gap between two neurons
The correct answer is: Synapse
- Synapse, also called neuronal junction, is the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector).
- A synaptic connection between a neuron and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction.
- The nerve impulses are relayed by a neurotransmitter from the axon of a presynaptic (sending) neuron to the dendrite of a postsynaptic (receiving) neuron. It is referred to as the synaptic cleft or synaptic gap.
