NEET · BiologyEasy
The gap between two adjacent neurons is known as:
- A.Axon
- B.Dendrite
- C.Synapse
- D.Myelin sheath
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — Synapse
Solution
- An axon is along projection of a neuron that conducts impulses away from the cell body.
- A dendrite is a branch-like structure that receives signals.
- A synapse is the specialized junction where the terminal of one neuron communicates with another.
- Hence the answer is (C).
