Question

Long answer question

Answer the question after observing the diagram given below.

Will the impulse be carried by the postsynaptic membrane carried even if one pre-synaptic neuron is there?

Answer 1

a. A pre synaptic neuron when receives an impulse, releases a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft which is required to cross the gap between the axon terminal and the next neuron.

b. For further transmission of impulse, a pre-synaptic neuron is required that initiates the release of neurotransmitters that facilitate the movement of impulses across synapses.
