Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The point of contact between a neuron and a target cell is called a:
A
Hormone Hangout
B
Synapse
C
Relapse
D
Transduction Junction
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: -The point of contact between two neurons is called a synapse. The neurotransmitter is released into this synaptic space also known as the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -(4) Impulse The gap between two neurons is called a synapse. It is the juncture where the axon of one neuron forms a connection with another neuron. This connection is called a synaptic gap or synapse.

Detailed explanation-5: -Communication between neurons occurs at tiny gaps called synapses, where specialized parts of the two cells (i.e., the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons) come within nanometers of one another to allow for chemical transmission.
