Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The space between neurons:
A
neurotransmitter
B
synapse
C
terminal branches
D
schwann cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There is a small gap between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, and this gap is called the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The gap between two neurons is called as synapse.

Detailed explanation-4: -A space between two neurons is known as a synapse or synaptic cleft/gap. It is where nerve impulses are transferred from a presynaptic (sending) neuron’s axon to the dendrite of a postsynaptic (receiving) neuron by a neurotransmitter. The nervous system’s structural and functional unit is the neuron.

Detailed explanation-5: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.
