Suppose the terminal ends of an axon are in contact with the dendrites of four adjacent neurons,the nerve impulse of the axon will

  • A
    Travel in all the four neurons
  • B
    Get distributed in all the four neurons resulting in a weak impulse
  • C
    Travel only in one neuron which is in closest contact and with the same intensity
  • D
    Travel in none of the neurons because the impulse travels from dendrites of one neuron into the axon of another neuron

Explain:
$(1)$ Electrical Synapse
$(2)$ Chemical Synapse

$A$ : Transmission of the nerve impulse across a synapse is accomplished by neurotransmitters.
$R$ : Transmission across a synapse usually requires neurotransmitters because there is a small space,$i.e.$,synaptic cleft,that separates one neuron from another.

Parkinson's disease (characterized by tremors and progressive rigidity of limbs) is caused by the degeneration of brain neurons that are involved in movement control and make use of the neurotransmitter:

What is the primary function of acetylcholine?
