Which is the site where two neurons communicate called?

• A. Dendrite
• B. Axon
• C. Synapse
• D. Node of Ranvier

Answer: (C)

Communication between neurons happens at a junction called the synapse. Here, the first neuron releases neurotransmitters into a tiny gap (the synaptic cleft). These chemical messengers cross the gap and bind to receptors on the next neuron, triggering a response in that cell. Dendrites are the parts that receive signals, while the axon carries impulses away from the cell body. The Node of Ranvier is a gap in the myelin sheath that helps speed up transmission along the axon, not the site where two neurons meet. So the place where two neurons communicate is the synapse.
