Question
which type of synapse allows for direct electrical communication between neurons? chemical synapse electrical synapse (gap junction) neuromuscular junction axoaxonic synapse question 16 (2 points)
Electrical synapses, also known as gap junctions, allow for direct electrical communication between neurons. They consist of channels that permit the passage of ions and small molecules between cells, enabling rapid signal - transfer. Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters for communication, neuromuscular junctions are between neurons and muscle cells, and axoaxonic synapses are a type of synapse between axons but do not provide direct electrical communication like gap junctions.
