The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

A generalized synapse consists of a bulbous expansion of a nerve terminal called a pre synaptic knob lying close to the membrane of a dendrite.
The cytoplasm of the synaptic knob contains mitochondria, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, microfilaments and numerous synaptic vesicles.
The synaptic cleft is a gap between, pre synaptic membrane of synaptic knob and post synaptic membrane of dendrite.

Approach Solution -2

Synaptic vesicles contribute to neurotransmission. It is crucial in sending, storing, and releasing data. Synaptic vesicles are stored in the presynaptic terminal by a complex scaffold of proteins that aid in the organization of the neurotransmitter-filled vesicle. The synapse is made up of three parts: the presynaptic membrane, the postsynaptic membrane, and the gap between these two membranes known as the synaptic cleft. The transmission passes from the presynaptic membrane's axon to the postsynaptic membrane's dendrite.

Human Nervous System

The human nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all the activities of the human body.

The three major functions of the human nervous system are:

  1. Gathering or assembling sensory information from the body and external environment.
  2. Processing and interpreting the sensory information acquired.
  3. Conveying or transferring appropriate response to the sensory information acquired.

The nervous system is mainly divided into two, namely:

The Central Nervous System (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord.

  1. The brain is majorly involved in the perception and processing of sensory input. It also regulates or manages voluntary motor responses and homeostatic mechanisms.
  2. The spinal cord act as a pathway for the transmission of information between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. It also takes action on reflex actions.

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprises sensory/motor neurons and ganglion.
