Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The tiny gap between neurons where nerve impulses are sent from one neuron to another. It is where communication occurs between an axon and dendrite
A
synapse
B
axon terminal
C
impulse
D
myelin
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: -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-3: -Neurons communicate with each other by sending chemicals, called neurotransmitters, across a tiny space, called a synapse, between the axons and dendrites of adjacent neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the action potential reaches the axon terminal, some of the neurotransmitters in the terminal are dumped into a tiny gap between the terminal and the dendrite of another neuron. This gap is called a synapse-it is so tiny that it is measured in nanometers or billionths of a meter.
