Question

What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

Answer 1

Answer:

An impulse causes the release of neurotransmitters from the first neuron which can trigger an impulse in the second

Explanation:

When the impulse (or 'action potential') reaches the pre synaptic terminal (the end of the neuron) of the first neuron, it causes a number of neurotransmitters to be released into the synaptic cleft (the bit between the two neurons).

These neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft before binding to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron.

If a number of factors are met, this may trigger an impulse in the second (postsynaptic) neuron

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Transfer of information/signals takes place at synapse between two neurons.

● Synapse -

• Synapse is a junction between two neurons that allow transfer of information from one neuron to another neuron.
• It can be classified into chemical synapse and electrical synapse.
• Synapse in which information is transferred by electrical impulses is called electrical synapse.
• Synapse in which information is transferred by hormones is called chemical synapse

Best luck dear...
