Neurons are able to communicate when

A) terminal buttons plug into receptor sites on adjacent dendrites.
B) neurotransmitters cross the synapse and bind with receptors on the postsynaptic dendrite.
C) electric signals connect across the synapse to the adjacent neuron.
D) chemical elements released into the synapse are converted to neurotransmitters that bind with receptors.

Neurotransmitters

Chemicals found in the nervous system that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another, influencing physical and psychological functions.

Synapse

A junction where information is transmitted from one neuron to the next in the nervous system.

Receptors

Specialized cells or structures in the body that respond to specific chemical, physical, or environmental stimuli.
