Question 4
In a neuron, conversion of electrical signal to a chemical signal occurs at/in
(a) cell body
(b) axonal end
(c) dendritic end
(d) axon
(b) axonal end
In a chemical synapse at the end of the axon, the electrical impulse sets off the release of some chemicals called neurotransmitters (chemical signal). These chemicals cross the gap, or synapse, and start a similar electrical impulse in the dendrite of the next neuron.
