Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of the synaptic cleft? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that neurons are cells in the nervous system that communicate with each other.
  • Step 2: Know that there is a small gap between two neurons called the synaptic cleft.
  • Step 3: Learn that neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help transmit signals between neurons.
  • Step 4: Realize that when a neuron wants to send a signal, it releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
  • Step 5: Understand that these neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft to reach the next neuron, allowing communication to happen.
