Question

1. choose the best answer.

how does the synapse work?
it is a gap between neurons that neurotransmitters must cross in order to deliver signals.
the synapse is the workspace where new neurons are manufactured.
it periodically comes in contact with dendrites in order to gather information.
it is a glue-like substance that locks neurons together.

Explanation:

A synapse is the junction between two neurons. Nerve signals are transmitted across this gap via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which are released from the presynaptic neuron, cross the synaptic cleft, and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to pass the signal. The other options are incorrect: synapses do not produce new neurons, do not gather information by contacting dendrites periodically, and are not a glue-like substance holding neurons together.

Answer:

It is a gap between neurons that neurotransmitters must cross in order to deliver signals.
