C) fine neurotubules
D) chemical diffusion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Information is transmitted across the synaptic gap through the release and diffusion of a neurotransmitter from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron. This involves the movement of synaptic vesicles containing the neurotransmitter towards the synaptic membrane, but the actual transmission occurs through chemical diffusion.
