The gap between two neurons is called a
(a) dendrite.
(b) synapse.
(c) axon.
(d) impulse.
Answer
Checking all the options.
- Dendrite - Branched structure that collects information from previous neuron and passes on to the cell body
- Synapse - is the gap between the nerve endings of one neuron and dendrite of the following neuron where signals are transmitted as chemical signals called neurotransmitters.
- Axon - It is a long tube-like structure that carries information from the cell body to the nerve endings .
- Impulse- The signal that travels along the length of a nerve fiber and ends in the release of neurotransmitters.
So, the correct answer is (b) - Synapse.
