The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of synapse in which the transmission of impulse across neurons is similar to conduction along a single axon, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Synapses**: - A synapse is a junction between two neurons where the transmission of impulses occurs. There are two main types of synapses: electrical and chemical. 2. **Types of Synapses**: - **Electrical Synapse**: In this type of synapse, the electrical impulse can pass directly from one neuron to another through gap junctions. This allows for very rapid transmission of signals, similar to how impulses travel along a single axon. - **Chemical Synapse**: In this type, neurotransmitters are released from one neuron and bind to receptors on another neuron, which is generally slower than electrical synapses. 3. **Comparison of Transmission**: - The question specifies that the transmission of impulses across the neuron is similar to conduction along a single axon. This description aligns with the characteristics of electrical synapses, where the transmission is fast and direct. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the understanding that electrical synapses facilitate rapid transmission of impulses similar to conduction along an axon, we conclude that the answer to the question is **electrical synapse**. ### Final Answer: The type of synapse in which transmission of impulse across neuron is similar to conduction along a single axon is **electrical synapse**. ---
