NEET Zoology Synaptic Transmission MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about synaptic transmission is correct?
Neurotransmitters are released from the post-synaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft.
Electrical synapses allow for faster impulse transmission compared to chemical synapses.
A synapse consists of membranes from both the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons, always separated by a synaptic cleft.
The binding of neurotransmitters to receptors on the pre-synaptic membrane generates a new potential in the pre-synaptic neuron.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Electrical synapses allow electrical current to flow directly between neurons, resulting in faster impulse transmission than chemical synapses. The other options contain inaccuracies regarding neurotransmitter release and synapse structure.
