At a chemical synapse:
I: neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses.
II: the axon terminals contain vesicles filled with the neurotransmitters.
III: the released neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors, present on the post-synaptic membrane.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct

What is a key difference between electrical and chemical synapses?
1. Electrical synapses allow the direct flow of ions from one neuron to another, while chemical synapses involve the release of neurotransmitters.
2. Chemical synapses can transmit signals faster than electrical synapses.
3. Electrical synapses involve neurotransmitters, whereas chemical synapses do not.
4. Chemical synapses are found in the heart, while electrical synapses are found in the brain.

What is a key feature of a chemical synapse?
1. Electrical signal directly passes from one neuron to another.
2. It primarily occurs in the heart.
3. It does not involve synaptic cleft.
4. It involves the release of neurotransmitters.
