At the neuromuscular junction, nerve impulses are carried across synaptic cleft by neurotransmitters.

Q. Assertion :Transmission of the nerve impulse across a synapse is accomplished by neurotransmitters. Reason: Transmission across a synapse usually requires neurotransmitters, because there is small space, the synaptic cleft, that separates one neuron from another.
