The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Nerve Impulses**: Nerve impulses are electrical signals that travel along the axon of a neuron. They are crucial for communication within the nervous system. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options: - Exoexonic - Exodendritic - Exoexodendritic - None of the above 3. **Defining Exoexonic**: The term "exoexonic" refers to a type of synapse where the axon of one neuron connects to the axon of another neuron. This is significant because it indicates a direct interaction between two axons. 4. **Mechanism of Impulse Reversal**: In an exoexonic junction, the neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic axon and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic axon. This can lead to a reversal in the direction of the nerve impulse, allowing for modulation of the signal. 5. **Comparison with Other Options**: - **Exodendritic**: This refers to synapses where the axon connects to the dendrite of another neuron. The direction of the impulse is not reversed in this case. - **Exoexodendritic**: This involves connections between axons and dendrites, and similarly does not reverse the direction of the impulse. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the definitions and mechanisms discussed, the correct answer to the question is **exoexonic**, as it is the only type that allows for the reversal of nerve impulse direction. **Final Answer**: The direction of nerve impulse is reversed in nerve with **exoexonic**. ---
