The space between two neurons through which neurotransmitters travel:
Correct answer: D. Synapse
- A. Habits
- B. Brain
- C. Dendrites
- D. Synapse
Explanation
Synapses are the spaces between two neurons where communication occurs. When an electrical signal reaches the end of a neuron (the presynaptic terminal), it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron, transmitting the signal across the synapse.

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.
