Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Messages are transmitted from one neuron to another through the:
A
axon terminal of one neuron to the axon terminal of another neuron.
B
dendrites of one neuron to the dendrites of another neuron.
C
synapses of one neuron to the axon terminal of another neuron.
D
axon terminals of one neuron to the dendrites of other neurons.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Synapses: Dendrites receive signals from other neurons at specialized junctions called synapses. There is a small gap between two synapsed neurons, where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synapse – The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, through which the two neurons communicate.
