Synapse
- Information from one neuron pour to another neuron across a synapse
- The synapse contains a small slit, or gap separating neurons
- Synapses are positioned between neurons or sandwiched between a neuron and an effecter cell
- Injuries cut communication with other parts of the body since one of the jobs of the synapses is to connect and control systems of the body
- The human body is expected to contain 100-500 trillion synapses
- It may sound odd, but all synapses don’t do the same job. There are numerous types of synapses
