$2$. c_____ of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse d_____ along a single axon.

• A. a—conducted, b—NMJ, c—conduction, d— transmission
• B. a—transmitted, b—NMJ, c—transmission, d— conduction.
• C. a—conducted, b—synapses, c—conduction, d— transmission
• D. a—transmitted, b—synapses, c—transmission, d— conduction

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another through junctions called synapses.
Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon.
