Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron-another cell. Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between 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: -Neurons talk to each other using special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are like chemical words, sending “messages” from one neuron to another.
