Yes

What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?

Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.

Does synaptic transmission involve electrical information to pass from terminal button to dendrites of another neuron?

No, synaptic transmission is chemical, not electrical.

The neural message being delivered in a synaptic transmission is carried across the synaptic gap by?

Chemical Substance

What is the chemical responsible for most synaptic transmission in neurons?

acetylcholine

What is the small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons?

The small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons is called the synaptic cleft. This cleft allows for the transmission of chemical signals, known as neurotransmitters, from the pre-synaptic neuron to the post-synaptic neuron to occur. The neurotransmitters are released by the pre-synaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron to transmit the signal.

Which is not an event that must occur in a normal cycle of synaptic transmission?

absorption of the neurotransmitter

What are similarities neuro synaptic transmission and nerve conductive have?

both are electrical movement

The part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signal to another neuron is?

Soma

Synaptic vesicles are found in what?

Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.

What is one dietary factor that affects synaptic transmission of nerve impulses?

vitamen b12
