Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the tiny space between neurons called?
A
Nerve impulse
B
Synapse
C
Hormone
D
Axon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is a tiny gap between the axon terminals of one neuron and the dendritic ends of a successive neuron. Impulses pass from one neuron to another across the synapse with the help of neurotransmitters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The gap between two neurons is called as synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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. Synapses are essential for neural communication and the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
