Question

what is synapse ? show with the help of diagram.

Answer 1

synapse is the space between two neurons. ....where chemical substances are retained to transmit electrical signal from one neuron to the other and so on......synapse may be between two dendrites. .....dendrites and cell body.....two nerve endings.....

Answer 2

The junction where one neuron joins another neuron is called synapse. The synapse is a narrow gap between two adjacent neurons which contains chemicals or neurotransmitters for nerve transmission. Transmission of nerve impulses between two neurons takes place at the synapse . It is the area of contact between Axon terminal of one neuron and the Dendrite terminal of the next neuron . Synapses actually act like one way valves . This is because the chemical substance is present only on one side of the gap .
