Question
In a synapse, chemical signal is transmitted from
Options
dendritic end of one neuron to axonal end of another neuron
axon to cell body of the same neuron
cell body to axonal end of the same neuron
axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron
Solution
axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron
Explanation -
Chemical signals (neurotransmitter) are transmitted from axonal end of one neuron to dendrite of another neuron through a gap called synapse.
