    The joint between axon of a neuron and the dendrite of the next is called :

    A)  synapse        

    B)  bridge

    C)  junction       

    D)  joint

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    A synapse is the link between one neuron and another. There is no physical contact between one neuron and the next, instead there is a tiny gap called synaptic cleft. Synapses are usually present between the fine branches of axon of   one neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the another neuron. Joints or articulations are places where separate bone or cartilage elements make contact. If a joint permits considerable movement it is said to be a synovial joint or a diorthrosis and if a joint is restrictive or permits no relative movement between articulated element it is termed synarthrosis.
