Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding electrical synapses?
A. Transmission of signals is faster than chemical synapses B. Pre and postsynaptic membranes are in very close proximity C. They are very common in our system D. Electrical synapse can flow directly from one neuron to another
Explanation: Electrical synapses are very rare in our system. At electrical synapses, the membranes of pre and post synaptic neurons are in very close proximity. Impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is always faster than chemical synapse.
