What is the small gap between two neurons called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Synapse
The small specialised 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. Therefore, option B is correct. A gland secretes substances, a bone provides support, and a blood vessel transports blood; none of these describes the connection between neurons.
