The point at which an impulse from one nerve cell is communicated to another is the:
|
|
cell body
|
|
|
receptor
|
|
|
synapse
|
|
|
effector
|
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: -Assertion: Transmission of the nerve impulse across a synapse is accomplished by neurotransmitters. Reason: Transmission across a synapse usually requires neurotransmitters because there is small space i.e. synaptic cleft, that separates one neuron from another.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
