QQuestion
Explain the following two terms: Ganglia and Synapse.
✓Answer
Ganglia: Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside the central nervous system. They serve as relay stations where sensory information is processed or passed on to other neurons before reaching the brain or spinal cord.
Synapse: Synapse is the junction between two neurons where the transmission of nerve impulses occurs. It allows electrical or chemical signals to pass from one neuron to another, enabling communication within the nervous system.
