The junction between the axon ending of a neuron and the dendrites of another neuron is called:
Correct answer: A. Synapse
- A. Synapse
- B. Nissl's body
- C. Neuroglia
- D. Myelin sheath
Explanation
The junction between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron is known as a synapse. It is where the transmission of signals (neurotransmission) occurs.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
