Synapse is the junction between two adjacent neurons (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.
At the synapse , the electrical impulses get converted into a neurotransmitter which again gets converted to electric impulse on reaching the next neuron .

ANSWER:

_____________________________

What is synapse?

Ans:

Synapse is a junction between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of next neuron. It is separated by a small gap known as synaptic cleft. There are two types of synapses:

(a) Electrical synapse

(b) Chemical synapse

Explanation of the types of synapse:

(a) In electrical synapses, the pre and post synaptic neurons lie in close proximity to each other. Hence, the impulse can move directly from one neuron to another across the synapse. This represents a faster method of impulse transmission.


(b) In chemical synapses, the pre and post-synaptic neurons are not in close proximity. They are separated by a synaptic cleft. The transmission of nerve impulses is carried out by chemicals such as neurotransmitters.

What are the function of synapse?

Ans:

Transmission of nerve impulses between two neurons takes place through the synapse. The axon terminal of a neuron releases specilized chemicals called neurotransmitters. These chemicals travel through the synapse and reach the dendrites of the next neuron. The nerve impulses travel along with the neurotransmitters.
