The Site of Intercellular Communication Between a Neuron and Another

Question

The site of intercellular communication between a neuron and another cell is the
A) telodendria.
B) axolemma.
C) collateral.
D) hillock.
E) synapse.

Accepted Answer

The synapse is the site where a neuron communicates with another cell, such as a muscle cell or another neuron. The telodendria are the fine branches at the end of the axon, the axolemma is the membrane of the axon, the collateral is a branch of an axon, and the hillock is the region of the neuron where the axon emerges from the cell body. None of these structures are specifically involved in intercellular communication between a neuron and another cell.
