Question
There is a tiny space between the axon of a sending neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron. This small space is called thea. axon.b. dendrite.c. synaptic gap.d. threshold.
Step 1
The axon is the part of the neuron that sends out messages to other neurons. This is represented by option a. The dendrite, represented by option b, is the part of the neuron that receives messages and directs them to the cell body. Show more…
