​

Answer 1

Answer:

Synapse is the junction between two adjacent neurons

Explanation:

nerve ending of first neuron and dendrite of second neuron . The function of synapse is to transmit the electrical impulses from one neuron to other.

Answer 2

• Electric nerve impulses are passed between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell at the synapse, also called the neuronal junction (effector).
• The neuromuscular junction is a synaptic connection that connects a neuron to a muscle cell.
• Each nerve fibre's terminal swells to form a knoblike structure at a chemical synapse, which is separated from the fibre of a neighbouring neuron (postsynaptic fibre) by a tiny area called the synaptic cleft.
• Synaptic clefts measure about 0.02 microns in width. When a nerve impulse reaches the presynaptic terminals, membrane-bound sacs called synaptic vesicles migrate towards the presynaptic membrane and fuse with it, releasing a chemical substance called a neurotransmitter.
