Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Synapse
- Synapse is responsible for the chemical transmission of messages between cells.
- Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.
Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.
At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
Let us discuss other options as well: - Axons connect with other cells in the body including other neurons, muscle cells, and organs.
- At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters.
- Dendrites are projections of a neuron (nerve cell) that receive signals (information) from other neurons.
