Question

When synapse occurs on axon is called as
A.Axoaxonic synapse
B.Axosomatic synapse
C.Axodendritic synapse
D.None of the above

Answer 1

The word "synapse" came from the Greek word synapsis, which means "conjunction". Synapse comes under the nervous system, it is defined as the structure that permits a neuron to transfer an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.

Complete answer:
1.Synapses are very much important for the neuronal function.
2.Neurons are cells which are responsible for the signaling of individual target cells and synapses are the way by which neurons perform their function.
3.The neuron which passes the signal from CNS is understood as the presynaptic neuron and which transfer signal to target is called as postsynaptic neurons.
4.Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic link together to carry out the signaling process.
5.There are various forms of synapse which totally depends on the position of the synapse.
6.Axoaxonic synapse known as when synapse is present in the axon.
7.The nerve impulse conduction occurs from one axon to the other axon.
8.Axodendritic synapse known as when synapse is occurring on the dendrites.
9.Axosomatic synapses know when the synapse is occurring on the cell body.

Hence the correct answer is OPTION(A)

Note: The presynaptic part is found on an axon and the postsynaptic part is found on a dendrite or soma. Brain cells also transfer information with the synaptic neurons leading to generation of synaptic activity and maintain the neurotransmission.
