Q. The junction between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the next is called
1. Constant bridge
2. Synapse
3. Joint
4. Junction point
Answer: 2 (Synapse).
Explanation:
In the central nervous system, a synapse (plural: synapses) is a small gap (junction) at the end of a neuron. This junction allows nerve cells or neurons to send chemical or electrical signals to other neurons. Synapses are found between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of the other neuron. Synapses are involved in the brain’s functions, especially when it comes to memory.
