Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is a synapse?
A
the place where neuron transfers an impulse to another structure.
B
an action that is performed as a response to a stimulus and without conscious thought.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The synapse is formed between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. It is known as the neuromuscular junction between a neuron and muscle. The conduction of nerve impulses from an axon terminal of a neuron to dendrites of the next neuron occurs through a synapse. It can be electrical or chemical.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Synapse The point at which a neuron transfers an impulse to another cell is called a synapse. A space, called the synaptic cleft, separates the axon terminal from the next cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synapses refer to the points of contact between neurons where information is passed from one neuron to the next. Synapses most often form between axons and dendrites, and consist of a presynaptic neuron, synaptic cleft, and a postsynaptic neuron.

Detailed explanation-5: -Neurons communicate with each other at specific points or junctions called synapses. These synapses can be chemical, communicating via chemical messengers or electricity, where ions flow between cells. Hence, the transmission of nerve impulses occurs through synapses.
