1.	What is a synapse?
Answer» 1. Synapse is a microscopic functional gap between two successive neurons. 2. In this telodendrites of pre-synaptic neuron are in close proximity with dendrites of post-synaptic neuron. 3. This gap is also called synaptic cleft. 4. During transmission of nerve impulse, the synapse get filled with neurotransmitters like acetyl choline.
