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: -Terminal Buttons and Synapses The terminal buttons are located at the end of the neuron and are responsible for sending the signal on to other neurons. At the end of the terminal button is a gap known as a synapse. Neurotransmitters are used to carry the signal across the synapse to other neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitter molecules are released from presynaptic terminals along the axon of nerve Cell A, travel through the synaptic cleft and reach the postsynaptic terminal on Cell B’s dendrite.
