Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synapse is the fluid-filled space between the synaptic knob of one cell and the dendrites of the next cell where neurotransmitters are released and received. The receptor site is a specific location on the surface of a cell where a substance can bind and produce a physiological response. The synaptic knob is the rounded end of an axon terminal that forms a synapse with another neuron. The axon terminal is the end of an axon that releases neurotransmitters at the synapse.
