Answer:

a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.

Explanation:

When a nerve impulse reaches thesynapse at the end of a neuron, it cannot pass directly to the next one. Instead, it triggers the neuron to release a chemical neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter drifts across the gap between the two neurons.

Answer:

Synapse

Synapse is the point of contact between the terminal branches of the axon of a neuron with the dendrites of another neuron separated by a fine gap.

Additional Information:

The nerve impulse "jumps" into the next neuron. This is a chemical process .

As the impulse reaches the terminal end of an axon, a chemical acetylcholine is released.

This chemical sets a new impulse in the dendrites of the adjacent neuron.

The chemical is soon broken down by an enzyme to make the synapse ready for the next transmission.
