Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synapses are the small gaps between the neurons where the nerve impulses travel from one neuron to another. The neurotransmitters released by the sending neuron cross the synaptic gap and bind with the corresponding receptors on the receiving neuron, which helps transmit the signal. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

B) Dendritic separation is not a term used in neurology.

C) Node of Ranvier is a small gap in the myelin sheath of a nerve, which helps the rapid conduction of nerve impulses, but nerve impulses do not travel through this area.

D) Somatic breach is not a term used in neurology.
