Options
- AA-4, B-2, C-1, D-3
- BA-1, B-2, C-4, D-3
- CA-4, B-3, C-1, D-2
- DA-1, B-3, C-4, D-2
Correct answer
A. A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3
Step-by-step solution
Synaptic vesicles are found in the pre-synaptic axon terminal and store neurotransmitters (A-4). The synaptic cleft is the fluid-filled space that separates the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons in a chemical synapse (B-2). The post-synaptic membrane contains specific receptors that bind to the released neurotransmitters (C-1). In an electrical synapse, the membranes of pre- and post-synaptic neurons are in very close proximity, allowing direct flow of electric current (D-3). Therefore, the correct matching is
