The gap between two neurons is called a
(a) dendrite.
(b) synapse.
(c) axon.
(d) impulse.
Correct Answer: (b) synapse
Explanation:
Synapses are minute gaps present in between the pairs of adjacent neurons over which nerve impulses pass by diffusion of chemicals called a neurotransmitter from one neuron to the next.
The synapse between two neurons only allows the electrical impulse to pass in one direction.
A neuron also known as a nerve cell is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system and has three components: the dendrites, the cell body, and the axon.
