*It carries information through chemical impulses to the cell body.
*It is the gap between neurons.
*It ensures that information travels in multiple directions.

Answer:

The correct answers are the first, third, fourth, and the fifth statement.

Explanation:

Synapse refers to the gap between the neurons, it conducts information via chemical or electrical impulses towards the cell body. It is the component of the nervous system. It permits information to travel either in chemical or electrical form and make sure that the information is conducted only in one direction.  

It is not the part of the neurons, however, it functions as an association between distinct neurons. Thus, the statements, first, third, fourth, and fifth are accurate.
