​

Answer 1

The synapse is the chemical space

between two neurons

(or between a neuron and a muscle/gland). When the electrical signal that traveled through the axon reaches the axon terminal, neurotransmitters are released. These neurotransmitters are a ____________

signal that travels across the synapse.

Receptors for the neurotransmitters are located on the dendrites of the next neuron (or muscle or gland).
