The junction between two neurons is called
(a) cell junction
(b) neuromuscular junction
(c) neural joint
(d) synapse
(d) synapse
In the nervous system, a synapse is a junction between two neurons where there is a small gap that allows a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron. Cell junction provides contact between neighboring cells. The neuromuscular junction is a synapse between the axon terminals of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber while the neural joint is present in the nervous system.
