An impulse from one nerve cell is communicated to another nerve cell via the ________.

B) synapse

D) effector

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synapse is the junction between two nerve cells where communication occurs. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles but does not directly transmit impulses between nerve cells. The receptor is a structure that binds to a specific molecule and initiates a response, but it is not directly involved in nerve cell communication. The effector is a structure (such as a muscle or gland) that responds to a nerve impulse but is not involved in transmitting the impulse between nerve cells.
