The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "A nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another neuron through a junction called as:", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the junction through which nerve impulses are transmitted between neurons. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The possible options provided are: - A) Neuromuscular Junction - B) Synapse - C) A and B both - D) Node of Ranvier 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option A: Neuromuscular Junction**: This is a type of synapse, but it specifically refers to the junction between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber, not between two neurons. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option B: Synapse**: This is the correct term for the junction between two neurons. It is the gap where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron and received by another, allowing for the transmission of nerve impulses. - **Option C: A and B both**: Since option A is incorrect, this option cannot be correct either. - **Option D: Node of Ranvier**: This refers to the gaps in the myelin sheath of a neuron, which are important for the conduction of nerve impulses but are not the junction between two neurons. Thus, this option is also incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option B: Synapse**. This is the junction through which nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another.
