Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the context of the problem: The question is asking about a specific term related to the structure of neurons.
Understand the basic structure of a neuron: Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and communicate with each other through synapses.
Define the term 'synapse': A synapse is the junction between two neurons, where the axon terminal of one neuron meets the dendrite of another.
Differentiate between the options: 'Neurochemical' refers to chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse, 'Gap of Ranvier' refers to gaps in the myelin sheath of a neuron, and 'Neuronal chasm' is not a standard term in neuroscience.
Conclude that the correct term for the gap between two neurons is 'synapse', as it is the recognized term for this specific part of neuronal communication.
