What is the synapse between two neurons?

synapse, also called neuronal junction, the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector).

What is a synapse in the nervous system?

Synapses are part of the circuit that connects sensory organs, like those that detect pain or touch, in the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Synapses connect neurons in the brain to neurons in the rest of the body and from those neurons to the muscles.

What is synapse and when does it occur?

Synapses refer to the points of contact between neurons where information is passed from one neuron to the next. Synapses most often form between axons and dendrites, and consist of a presynaptic neuron, synaptic cleft, and a postsynaptic neuron.

What are the 3 types of synapses?

We found three types: I = communicating axosomatic synapses; II = communicating axodendritic synapses, and III = communicating axoaxonic synapses'. When three neurons intervene in the synaptic contact, they could be termed 'complex communicating synapses'.
