Detailed Solution

Concept: Basic functional units in a neuron system are referred to as neurons. These neurons communicate information across great distances by producing electrical signals.
The nervous system's neurons carry electrical signals, or impulses, that are used as communication channels. Nerve cells are another name for neurons, and both their structure and functionality are distinct. Cell body, dendrites, and axons are the three main structural components of the neuron. A synapse is the gap or the space between two neurons across which an impulse is transmitted. The synapse is defined as the points of contact between neurons where the information is passed from one neuron to another.The synapse is the place where an axon terminal meets another cell.
