PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A connection formed between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another. These tend to be excitatory synapses. A direct connection between the axon of one neuron to the cell body of another neuron. These tend to be inhibitory synapses.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Synapses are part of the circuit that connects sensory organs, like those that detect pain or touch, in the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Synapses connect neurons in the brain to neurons in the rest of the body and from those neurons to the muscles.
