Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When impulses reach the axon terminal, where is it transmitted next?
A
to another axon terminal
B
to the brain
C
to the dendrites of another neuron
D
None of the above
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: -Impulse enters a neuron through the dendrites. The information acquired at the end of the dendritic tip of a nerve cell sets off a chemical reaction that sends the impulse to the cell body where it is processed. From the cell body, the impulse moves into the axon and then to the axonal ends.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synapses: Dendrites receive signals from other neurons at specialized junctions called synapses. There is a small gap between two synapsed neurons, where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron.
