From what i know so far, synapses are important as they allow the message carried from neurotransmitters to slow down and then be carried across to different neurons in the body. I got that from my science book. I'm still wondering why slowing down the message is important. Or HOW its carried to different neurons, and I'm wondering why it needs to be slowed down in order to be transfered to another neurone.

Where does synapses take place?
The synapses take place in the spinal cord
Are there synapses in peripheral nervous system?
There are synapses between each and every neuron in the entire nervous system; so yes, there are synapses in the peripheral section of the nervous system.
Explain why higher reasoning or conscious thought are not necessary or desirable features of reflexes.?
Because reflexes permit faster responses without having to bypass several synapses.
Explain why higher reasoning or conscious thought are not necessary or desirable features of reflexes?
Because reflexes permit faster responses without having to bypass several synapses.
What are the reaction that having a great time leaping across synapses?
There are no reactions, the end of a nerve produces a gas that goes across the synapses and creates the electrical impulse on the other side of the synapses and continues the message!
What has the author U Sandbank written?
U. Sandbank has written: 'The development of synapses' -- subject(s): Nervous system, Synapses
Which system involves a synapse?
All nerves have synapses, which are where the nerve junctions are located, so the nervous system involves synapses.
The venom of the black widow spider causes violent muscle contractions by flooding synapses with?
It floods the synapses with Acetycholine or ACh.
What reactions leap across synapses?
Reactions don't leap across synapses but neurotransmitters will diffuse across the synaptic cleft.
Where are electrical synapses found?
Synapse is located, where two neurons meet each other. One cubic cm of brain cortex have about one billion synapses, probably.
What make us think?
Synapses.
What OPEN do?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
