Detailed explanation-1: -In the central nervous system, a synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to flow from one neuron to the next. It is the point where one neuron’s axon meets the dendrite of another, allowing the two neurons to communicate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is D. Synapse. The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the next is called a synapse. Depending on the nature of transfer of information, there are two types of synapses-chemical synapses and electrical synapses.
Detailed explanation-3: -Synapse is a junction between two neurons or a neuron and a target or effector cell such as a muscle cell. It permits transmission of electrical or chemical signals.
