What is the small gap between two neurons called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Synapse
The small junction or gap between two communicating neurons is called a synapse. When an impulse reaches the end of one neuron, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released and cross the synaptic gap to influence the next neuron. A gland secretes substances, an effector performs a response, and a receptor detects stimuli. Therefore, option A is correct.
