Biology - Neural Control and Coordination Question with Solution | TestHub
The interconnection between two neurons or neuron with a motor organ is called a synapse, and the synapse between only two neurons may be ____.
(A). axo-dendronic
(B). axo-axonic
(C). dendro-dendronic
(D). dendro-somatic
Choose thecorrectanswer from the options given below:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
A synapse is a junction that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.
When a synapse is formed between two neurons, it can occur between various parts of the interacting neurons. The possible types of synapses include:
1. Axo-dendritic: Between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another.
2. Axo-somatic: Between the axon of one neuron and the cell body (soma) of another.
3. Axo-axonic: Between the axon of one neuron and the axon of another.
4. Dendro-dendritic: Between the dendrites of two different neurons.
5. Dendro-somatic: Between the dendrite of one neuron and the cell body (soma) of another.
Since all the given types (axo-dendritic, axo-axonic, dendro-dendritic, and dendro-somatic) are valid examples of synapses between two neurons, statements (A), (B), (C), and (D) are all correct.
Answer: (A), (B), (C) and (D).
