Expert Solution

Step 1

Synapses or better to say, chemical synapses, are biological junctions through which signals of neurons can be sent to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits or networks within the central nervous system. They are crucial to the biological phenomenon that underlies perception and thought. They allow the nervous system to connect and control other systems of the body.
