Zoology-Synaptic Transmission

NEET Zoology Synaptic Transmission MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If the time taken for impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is 0.5 milliseconds, what would be the total time taken for an impulse to travel through two electrical synapses?

A

0 milliseconds

B

0.25 milliseconds

C

5 milliseconds

D

0 milliseconds

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Since transmission across an electrical synapse is direct and fast, the time taken for one synapse is 0.5 milliseconds. Therefore, for two synapses it would be 0.5 + 0.5 = 1.0 milliseconds.
