Jen and Jack are seated in the same row in an airplane but across the aisle from each other.If the information they exchange across the aisle represents the neural impulse between neurons,and Jen and Jack represent the neurons,the aisle most likely represents the
A)nodes of Ranvier.
B)axon hillock.
C)synapse.
D)interneurons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synapse is the junction between two neurons where information is transmitted through chemical or electrical signals. In this scenario, Jen and Jack are representing the neurons, and the information exchange across the aisle represents the neural impulse between them. Therefore, the aisle would represent the synapse. Nodes of Ranvier are the gaps in the myelin sheath of axons, axon hillock is the part of the neuron where the axon originates from the cell body, and interneurons are specialized neurons that connect other neurons. None of these options would accurately represent the aisle in this scenario.
