At electrical synapses:
A)There is a synaptic delay as the signal travels from the presynaptic element to the postsynaptic element.
B)Release of neurotransmitter is required.
C)There is a low-resistance pathway for flow of current between cells.
D)Electrical potentials can be transmitted in only one direction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrical synapses provide a low-resistance pathway for the flow of current between cells, allowing direct transmission of electrical signals without the need for neurotransmitter release. There is no synaptic delay and electrical potentials can be transmitted bidirectionally.
