Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The communication links between neurons are called synapses, where neurotransmitters are released and received to transmit the nerve impulse. Axons are the fibers that transmit the nerve impulse away from the neuron cell body and dendrites are the fibers that receive the nerve impulse towards the neuron cell body. While both axons and dendrites play a role in nerve communication, synapses specifically refer to the junctions between neurons where communication occurs.
