Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the meeting point between the axon tip and the dendrite?
A
Synapse
B
Glial Cell
C
Myelin Sheath
D
Cell Body
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: -A message travels from the dendrites through the cell body and to the end of the axon. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Synapse The place where the axon of one neuron meets the dendrite of another is called a synapse. Synapses are also found between neurons and other types of cells, such as muscle cells. The axon of the sending neuron does not actually touch the dendrite of the receiving neuron.

Detailed explanation-4: -synapse, also called neuronal junction, the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector).
