Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The point of connection between two communication neurons is called the
A
dendrite
B
synapse
C
cell body
D
axon hillock
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Synapse is the site at the end of the neuron that transfers the electric nerve impulses from one neuron to another or the effector cell, thus connecting two neurons. It is also called Neuromuscular junction as it acts as a connection between neurons and muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The point of contact between two neurons is called a synapse. The neurotransmitter is released into this synaptic space also known as the synaptic cleft. The neuron sending out information is called the presynaptic cell and, therefore, the cell receiving information is called the postsynaptic cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -A point of contact between two neurons is termed Synapse.

Detailed explanation-5: -Synapse is defined as the point of contact between the terminal branches of the axon of one neuron with the dendrite of another neuron. Two neurons communicate through this junction. This communication occurs through the production of neurotransmitters.
