Question

Transmission of nerve impulse, across the synapse is accomplished by the

• A. Release of ions.
• B. Release of neurotransmitters.
• C. Movement of water.
• D. Movement of $N{a}^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Release of neurotransmitters.

Transmission of nerve impulse, across the synapse, is accomplished by release of neurotransmitters. They are the chemicals which allow the transmission of signals from one neuron to the next across synapses. It acts on the neuroreceptors which mainly changes the polarity of the membrane which helps in nerve transmission.

So, the correct answer is option B.
