At synapses, nerve impulse transmission is accomplished by:
A)electrical transmission
B)the myelin sheath
C)the Schwann cells
D)chemical neurotransmitters

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At synapses, nerve impulse transmission is accomplished by the release of chemical neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron which bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This causes an electrical signal to be generated in the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for transmission of the impulse.
