Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synapse is the small gap between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle or glandular cell, where chemical communication occurs in the transmission of nerve impulses. The neurotransmitter is the chemical substance released by the presynaptic neuron that is involved in transmitting the message across the synapse. The axon is the long, thin process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body. The ganglion is a cluster of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system.
