How does impulse transmission occur across electrical synapses?
How does impulse transmission occur across electrical synapses?
By the release of neurotransmitters
By the flow of direct electrical current
By the transmission of magnetic fields
By the transmission of electrical impulses along a single axon
Solution
At electrical synapses, the membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons are in very close proximity, allowing for the flow of direct electrical current from one neuron into the other.
