Question

(36) Describe chemical transmission at synapse
​

Answer 1

●A synapse is an area where two neurons come close enough to one another that they are able to pass chemical signals from one cell to another.

●The neurons are not actually connected, but are separated by a microscopically small space called the synaptic cleft.

Answer 2

In chemical synapse, the membranes of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons are separated by a fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft. Chemicals such as the neurotransmitters are involved in the mechanism of impulse condition.
