Solution
The correct option is D synaptic cleft
A nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another through junctions called synapses. A synapse is formed by the membranes of a pre-synaptic neuron and a post-synaptic neuron, which may or may not be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft.
A neuron has 3 main parts - dendrites, cell body and axon. Axons often have many terminal branches, each ending as a bulbous enlargement called synaptic knob. The axon terminals contain vesicles filled with the neurotransmitters called synaptic vesicles.
