Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemical synapses are slower as they involve the release of neurotransmitters that diffuse across the synaptic cleft. These types of synapses are also more common in the nervous system. Mechanical synapses are less common and involve physical contact between cells, while electrical synapses involve direct ion flow and are faster than chemical synapses. Physical and magnetic synapses are not types of synapses found in the nervous system.
