What is the small gap between two neurons called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Synapse
Most neighbouring neurons do not touch one another directly. The tiny junctional gap between the axon ending of one neuron and the receiving part of the next is called a synapse. A nerve impulse reaches the end of the first neuron, where chemical neurotransmitters help transmit the signal across this gap. Therefore, option B is correct; a receptor detects stimuli, an endocrine gland releases hormones, and an effector performs the response.
