Question

In a synapse, the chemical signal is transmitted from ______.

Options

• dendritic end of one neuron to axonal end of another neuron.

• axon to cell body of the same neuron.

• cell body to axonal end of the same neuron.

• axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron.

Answer 1

In a synapse, the chemical signal is transmitted from axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron.

Explanation:

In a synapse, the electrical impulse reaching the axonal end of one neuron triggers the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters). These chemicals cross the synaptic gap and transmit the signal to the dendrite of the next neuron.
