Why can a synapse transmit impulses in one direction only?
Correct answer A. Neurotransmitter is released only from the presynaptic side and receptors are only on the postsynaptic side
Explanation
Vesicles of neurotransmitter occur only in the presynaptic knob, while matching receptors lie on the postsynaptic membrane. So the chemical signal can only cross one way.
