Synapses occur at synaptic cleft (or also called as "synaptic gap"). The location of "synaptic cleft" depends on the types of synapses:

  • axo-dendritic synapse : between axons and dendrites
  • axo-somatic synapse : between axons and cell bodies
  • axo-axonic synapse : between axons and axons
  • dendro-denritic syanpse : between dendrites and dendrites

What is the junction point between neurons?

A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.


What is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?

synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.


Who do preganglionic neurons synapse with?

Preganglionic neurons synapse with postganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system. These synapses occur in ganglia, which are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system. In the sympathetic division, preganglionic neurons typically synapse in sympathetic ganglia near the spinal cord, while in the parasympathetic division, they synapse in ganglia located close to or within the target organs. This synaptic connection is crucial for transmitting signals that regulate involuntary bodily functions.


What is a synapse and how is information transmitted at the synapse?

A synapse is a structure that allows communication between neurons. Information is transmitted across the synapse through the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to changes in the postsynaptic neuron's electrical activity.


Junction where one neuron meets another called?

The junction where one neuron meets another is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals in the form of action potentials are converted into chemical signals in the form of neurotransmitters, which then transmit the signal to the next neuron.
