Write the mechanism how impulse is conducted in electrical synapse
Answers
Answer:
An electrical synapse is a mechanical and electrically conductive link between two neighboring neurons that is formed at a narrow gap between the pre- and postsynaptic neurons known as a gap junction. At gap junctions, such cells approach within about 3.8 nm of each other,[1] a much shorter distance than the 20- to 40-nanometer distance that separates cells at chemical synapse.[2] In many[specify] animals, electrical synapse-based systems co-exist with chemical synapses.
Answer:
i Nerve impulse flow directly from one neuron to other across the synapses in electrical synapses ii. Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon iii. Chemicals called neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses at this synapse.
