1 Answer
Synapse is a loose connection between axon ending of one nerve cell and cell body of the next cell. It functions are :
- It allows information to be passed from one neuron to another.
- It amplifies the signal
- It allows the adjoining neuron to be excited.
In the central nervous system, a synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Synapses are found where nerve cells connect with other nerve cells. Synapses are key to the brain's function, especially when it comes to memory.
