Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Communication between neurons occurs at
A
Axon terminal
B
Synapse
C
Muscle fiber
D
Neuron membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Communication between neurons occurs at tiny gaps called synapses, where specialized parts of the two cells (i.e., the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons) come within nanometers of one another to allow for chemical transmission.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Neurons communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals, ‘’ explains Barak. “The electrical signal, or action potential, runs from the cell body area to the axon terminals, through a thin fiber called axon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons communicate using both electrical and chemical signals. Sensory stimuli are converted to electrical signals. Action potentials are electrical signals carried along neurons. Synapses are chemical or electrical junctions that allow electrical signals to pass from neurons to other cells.
