The Point of Connection Between Two Communicating Neurons is Called

Question

The point of connection between two communicating neurons is called
A)the axon hillock.
B)the dendrite.
C)the synapse.
D)the cell body.
E)the glia.

Accepted Answer

The synapse is the point of connection where two neurons communicate with each other through the release and reception of neurotransmitters. The axon hillock is the area on the neuron where the axon meets the cell body and signals are integrated. The dendrite is the part of the neuron that receives signals from other neurons. The cell body, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus and various organelles. Glia are non-neuronal cells in the nervous system that support and protect neurons.
