Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statements. a. A synapse is formed by the membranes of a pre-synaptic neuron and a post-synaptic neuron, which may or may not be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft. b. At electrical synapses, the membranes of pre-and post-synaptic neurons are in very close proximity. c. Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across chemical synapses. d. Impulse trasmission across a chemical synapse is always faster than that across a electric synapse. e. Electrical synapses are rare in our system.

A : Transmission of the nerve impulse across a synapse is accomplished by neurotransmitters . R : Transmission across a synapse usually requires neuro transmitters because there is space , i.e., synaptic cleft, that separates one neuron from another .

Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon iii. Impulse transmission across an elecetrical synapse is always faster than that across a chemical synapse. iv. Electrical synapses are rare in our system v. At an electrical synapse, the membranes of the pre and post-synaptic neurous are separated by a fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft is thick. vi.

Generation & Conduction OF Nerve Impulse || Synapse || Functional Properties OF Nerve Fibre

Define the following : (a) Reflex action (b) Synapse (c ) Phototropism.

Assertion. Transmission of a nerve impulse across a synape is brought about by a neurotransmitter. Reason. A neurotransmitter is necessary to transmit a nerve impulse across a synapse because there is a small gap, the synaptic cleft, between the two neurons at the synapse.
