NEUROTRANSMISSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron.
A
axon
B
synapse
C
dendrite
D
vesicle
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: -into the synapse. The neurotransmitters carry the message with them into the synapse. The synapse is the space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron. 3. The neurotransmitters then travel across the synapse to special places on the dendrites of the next.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell body contains a specialized structure, the axon hillock that integrates signals from multiple synapses and serves as a junction between the cell body and an axon. An axon is a tube-like structure that propagates the integrated signal to specialized endings called axon terminals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called neurotransmission. The space between the axon and the dendrites is called the synapse.

Detailed explanation-5: -Synapse is a junction between the branches at the end of the axon of one neuron and the dendrites or cell body of another neuron.
