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.
