a: Dendrite ~
b: person grabbing the bag of sand
What: "When a neuron wants to pass a message or stimulus, or bag of sand, it generates an enzyme that closes the gap between the foot of the neuron and the dendrite of the next neuron. The dendrite is like the hand of the person grabbing the bag of sand. Neurons have many dendrites while we only have two hands. The neuron that received the message generates an enzyme that dissolves the material that allowed the signal to jump between the neurons to begin with. That is its way of saying, I have got it"
