The very small gap between an axon sending a message and dendrite receiving the message is the:
Correct answer: C. Synapse
- A. Axon terminal
- B. Receptor
- C. Synapse
- D. Effector
Explanation
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Synapses are found where neurons connect with other neurons.

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.
