Are electrical synapses rare in our system?

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 anotherA synaptic cleft separates the membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons, allowing for the transmission of a nerve impulse from one neuron to another.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals involved in transmitting impulses at chemical synapses. They bind to specific receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, opening ion channels and allowing the entry of ions to generate a new potential in the post-synaptic neuron.
