The chemical causing the transmission of nerve impulse across synapses is or The neurotranmitter which communicates between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle a

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.

A list of events occurring in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse is given below in a random order (i)Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron. (ii)Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post synaptic membrane. (iii)Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter release into synaptic cleft. (iv)Depolarisation of pre-synaptic membrane. (v)Arrival of action potential at axon terminal. Which of the following options represents these events in a correct order ?

Transmission of nerve impulse, across the sysnapse is accomplished by

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 .
