Question

In a synapse, chemical signal is transmitted from:​

• A. axon to cell body of ​ the same neuron ​
• B. dendrite end of one neuron to axon end of adjacent neuron​
• C. cell body to axon end ​ of the same neuron ​
• D. axon end of one ​ neuron to dendrite end of adjacent neuron ​

Answer 1

The correct option is D axon end of one ​ neuron to dendrite end of adjacent neuron ​

Correct Option: (d) axon end of one neuron to dendrite end of adjacent neuron.​ ​

In the synapse, a chemical signal is transmitted through the axonal end of one neuron to the dendritic end of an adjacent neuron.​ ​

• Within a neuron, the path of impulse is ​ Dendrites → Cell body → Axon → Axonal end ​ ​
• To transmit the impulse to the next neuron, the synapse is crossed by a chemical substance and the impulse reaches the dendritic end of an adjacent neuron.​ ​ ​
