What does “Synapse” actually mean in Neural Control and Coordination, and why does it matter for NEET?
a junction where the impulse is carried across a gap by neurotransmitter molecules, in one direction only.
In simple words: a junction where the impulse is carried across a gap by neurotransmitter molecules, in one direction only. Getting Synapse clear matters because NEET questions on Neural Control and Coordination usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Synapse
Common mistake
thinking impulses cross a synapse electrically and in both directions.
Memory tip
a chemical synapse is a one-way relay run by neurotransmitters.
