The junction between two communication neurons is called the
A
Synapse
B
Neurotransmitter
C
Nerve Pathway
D
Calcium Channel
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is the junction between two neurons, a neuron and a muscle cell or a neuron and a glandular cell. Synapses help to regulate the speed and direction of nerve impulses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synapse is defined as the point of contact between the terminal branches of the axon of one neuron with the dendrite of another neuron. Two neurons communicate through this junction. This communication occurs through the production of neurotransmitters. In a synapse, two neurons are involved.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The junction between two neurons is called a synapse.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A Synapses. The junction between two nerve cells or neurons is known as synapse.

Detailed explanation-5: -The synapse, rather, is that small pocket of space between two cells, where they can pass messages to communicate. A single neuron may contain thousands of synapses. In fact, one type of neuron called the Purkinje cell, found in the brain’s cerebellum, may have as many as one hundred thousand synapses.
