... What is a synapse and how do nerve impulses pass across a synapse? A synapse is the gap between neurons. Nerve impulses change to a chemical signal when they near the synapse and it triggers an electrical signal when it enters the next neuron. What is a reflex action and how is this a good test of t ...
