In a synapse, chemical signal is transmitted from :

(a) axon to cell body of the same neuron

(b) cell body to axon end of the same neuron

(c) dendrite end of one neuron to dentrite end of adjacent neuron

(d) axon end of one neuron to dendrite end of adjancent neuron

Solution

Answer :

(d) axon end of one neuron to the dendrite end of the adjacent neuron.

At a chemical synapse, one neuron releases neurotransmitter molecules into a small space called the synaptic cleft that is adjacent to another neuron. The neurotransmitters are kept within small sacs called synaptic vesicles which are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis.
