Question

what mechanism is used to maintain a synapse between pre/post synaptic neurons?

Answer 1

IT IS DONE THROUGH THE SYNAPTIC CLEFT

synaptic cleft. : the space between neurons at a nerve synapse across which a nerve impulse is transmitted by a neurotransmitter. — called also synaptic gap.The message travels from the presynaptic terminal of one synapse to the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic terminal of the next synapse. The synaptic cleft is mainly used to transport neurotransmitters from one synapse to another in order to continue carrying the nerve impulse until it reaches its destination.Inside the axon terminal of a sending cell are many synaptic vesicles. These are membrane-bound spheres filled with neurotransmitter molecules. There is a small gap between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, and this gap is called the synaptic cleft
