What are the two types of synapses?

Options

  1. AElectrical and magnetic synapses
  2. BChemical and magnetic synapses
  3. CChemical and electrical synapses
  4. DPhysical and electrical synapses

Correct answer

C. Chemical and electrical synapses

Step-by-step solution

The action potential is generated in response to a stimulus and travels along the length of the axon, transmitting the nerve impulse. The rise in permeability to Na⁺ is short-lived and is followed by a rise in permeability to K⁺. K⁺ diffuses outside the membrane, restoring the resting potential of the membrane..A synapse is a junction between two neurons that allows the transmission of a nerve impulse from one neuron to another Impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is always faster than that across a ch
