Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A synapse is the site where one neuron communicates with another cell, either another neuron or a target cell like a muscle or gland cell. At a synapse, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell, causing a reaction or signal to be transmitted.
