Question

what is synapse ? explain

Answer 1

The function of the synapse is to transfer electric activity (information) from one cell to another. The transfer can be from nerve to nerve (neuro-neuro), or nerve to muscle (neuro-myo). The region between the pre- and postsynaptic membrane is very narrow, only 30-50 nm.

I hope this is right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

• Synapse is small gap that occurs between the last portion of axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the other neuron.

• It is the passage of transfer of impulses.

• The transfer occurs as the chemicals are produced in only one side of the neuron ( axon ).

• From the axon, the impulses travel across the synapse to the dendrite of the other neuron.

• This is how information gets transferred from one neuron to the other.

--------------

• Synapse is one of the essential parts of the nervous system.

• It helps in the transfer of nerve impulses.

• The message passed through the nerve cell in the form of chemical and electrical signals are called nerve impulses.
