Give a brief account of mechanism of synaptic transmission.

The synapses are connections where nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another.

This is formed by the pre-synaptic membrane and the post-synaptic neuron, which may or may not be separated by a gap known as the synaptic cleft.

There are two types of synapses which are chemical synapses and electrical synapses.

The pre-synaptic membrane and the post-synaptic neuron in the electrical synapses are so close that electrical energy can flow directly from one neuron to another of these specific synapses.

The transfer of pressure across electrical synapses is similar to the force exerting on a single axon where the transmission remains faster than that across the chemical synapse invisible to the human body.

The pre-synaptic membrane and post-synaptic neuron in chemical synapses are separated by a synaptic cleft.

Chemicals known as neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impact on these specific synapses.
