Nerve fibres transmit the nerve message by _____means.

A

chemical

B

physical

C

electrochemical

D

electrical

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Due to a gap of 200Å in between two neurons, the electrical transmission of nerve impulse is not possible because the post-synaptic membrane cannot be depolarised without the aid of neurotransmitters (chemicals).Hence, in this way, the transmission of nerve impulse is an electrochemical incidence.
