Why is the flow of signals in a synapse from axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another neuron but not the reverse?
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
Answer variants:
The electrical impulse travels from the dendrite to the cell body and at the axon terminals.
A similar synapse permits such impulses to be delivered from neurons to other cells like glands and muscle cells.
The electrical impulse at the axon's end triggers the release of chemicals.
The chemicals cross the synapse and initiate a similar electrical impulse in the following neuron's dendrite.
The information is received via chemical reaction at the dendritic tip of a nerve cell, which results in an electrical impulse.
