Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is the gap between dendrite ends and axon terminals . This is the gap in which neurotransmitters are released for further transmission of nerve impulses to successive neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -The synapse, rather, is that small pocket of space between two cells, where they can pass messages to communicate. A single neuron may contain thousands of synapses. In fact, one type of neuron called the Purkinje cell, found in the brain’s cerebellum, may have as many as one hundred thousand synapses.
Detailed explanation-3: -(SIH-naps) The space between the end of a nerve cell and another cell. Nerve impulses are usually carried to the neighboring cell by chemicals called neurotransmitters, which are released by the nerve cell and are taken up by another cell on the other side of the synapse.
