Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of the synapse in neural communication? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that neurons are the cells in the brain and nervous system that send messages.
  • Step 2: Know that a synapse is the small gap between two neurons.
  • Step 3: Learn that when a neuron wants to send a message, it releases special chemicals called neurotransmitters.
  • Step 4: Recognize that these neurotransmitters travel across the synapse to the next neuron.
  • Step 5: Understand that when the neurotransmitters reach the next neuron, they help it to receive the message and continue the communication.
