Question 2

What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

Answer

Synapse is a point of connection where two neurons gets connected or communicated, where one neuron sends information to another target nerve cell. Synapses are electrical or chemical. Electrical is where flow or exchange if ions occurs and in chemical synapse, they communicate using chemical messengers called hormones, or neurotransmitters.

Sensory nerves carry nerve impulses to the axon terminal which releases chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, then they goes through the synapse to reach the dendrite part of another neuron. And, finally these neurotransmitters goes to muscles, glands etc. to carry forward their actions.
