Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The synapse is specifically responsible for communication between
A
The brain and the spinal chord
B
Individual neurons
C
Individual nerve fibers
D
The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synapses connect neurons in the brain to neurons in the rest of the body and from those neurons to the muscles. This is how the intention to move our arm, for example, translates into the muscles of the arm actually moving.

Detailed explanation-3: -How do neurons communicate with each other? Neurons communicate at structures called synapses in a process called synaptic transmission.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
