When neurotransmitter molecules are released into the small space between two neurons,what is the space they have entered?
A)axon
B)axon terminal
C)dendrite
D)synapse

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The space between two neurons where neurotransmitter molecules are released is called the synapse. Therefore, option D is the correct choice. Axon (A) is the long, slender projection of a neuron that carries electrical impulses away from the cell body, while the axon terminal (B) is the endpoint of the axon where neurotransmitters are released. Dendrites (C) are the branching projections of a neuron that receive electrical signals from other neurons.
