What is the function of synapse________________?
Correct answer: B. To decrease the speed of nerve impulse
- A. To allow nerve impulse to move in backward direction
- B. To decrease the speed of nerve impulse
- C. To stop the nerve impulse
- D. To provide cytoplasmic connection between neurons.
Explanation
A synapse produces a small synaptic delay because neurotransmitter release and reception take time, so transmission across a synaptic pathway is slower. Option d is a common mistake because a synaptic cleft is a gap, not a direct cytoplasmic connection between neurons.
