Junction between axon and dendrites of two neurons is called __________.
-
synapse
-
neuromuscular junction
-
node of Ranvier
-
myclin sheath
A
Correct answer
Explanation
A synapse is the functional junction where an axon terminal of one neuron communicates with dendrites or cell body of another neuron. This is where neurotransmitters are released to continue the neural signal. Neuromuscular junctions are specialized synapses between neurons and muscles, while nodes of Ranvier are gaps in myelin sheath along axons.
