Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron.
A
axon
B
synapse
C
dendrite
D
vesicle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solution : Synape is a junction found between the branches at the end of the axon of one neuron and the dendrites or cell body of another neuron. Through this junction nerve impulse transmits from one neuron to other.

Detailed explanation-2: -A synapse is the small gap between two neurons, where nerve impulses are relayed by a neurotransmitter from the axon of a presynaptic (sending) neuron to the dendrite of a postsynaptic (receiving) neuron. It is referred to as the synaptic cleft or synaptic gap.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term “synapse” refers to the place where the terminal branches of one neuron’s axon connect to another neuron’s dendrite. Presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons join together to form the synapse. The connection between a neuron and a muscle is called the neuromuscular junction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synapse. 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.
