Which of the following carries nerve impulses at synapses?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are released at synapses and carry nerve impulses from one neuron to another or to an effector cell (such as a muscle or gland cell). Choices A, B, and C are not involved in carrying nerve impulses at synapses. Schwann's cells are involved in myelination of axons, depolarizations are a type of electrical signal within neurons, and the cell membrane forms the boundary of the neuron but does not directly carry nerve impulses at synapses.
