Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the junctions that facilitate the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another. 2. **Identifying the Key Term**: In the context of neural communication, the specific junction where this transmission occurs is crucial. 3. **Defining the Junction**: The junctions between neurons are called synapses. This is where the transmission of nerve impulses happens. 4. **Components of a Synapse**: - **Presynaptic Neuron**: This is the neuron that sends the signal. - **Synaptic Cleft**: This is the small gap between the two neurons. - **Postsynaptic Neuron**: This is the neuron that receives the signal. 5. **Function of the Synapse**: When an impulse reaches the presynaptic neuron, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing the impulse to continue. 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the junctions from which impulses are transmitted through one neuron to another are known as **synapses**. ---
