How is an impulse transmitted across electrical synapses?

Options

  1. ABy opening ion channels
  2. BBy generating a new potential
  3. CBy flowing directly from one neuron to another
  4. DBy binding to specific receptors

Correct answer

C. By flowing directly from one neuron to another

Step-by-step solution

A synapse is a junction between two neurons that allows the transmission of a nerve impulse from one neuron to another.rAt electrical synapses, the membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons are in close proximity, allowing electrical current to flow directly from one neuron into the other across these synapses. Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is similar to impulse conduction along a single axon.The membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons at a chemical synapse are separated by a fluid-fil
