Synaptic Transmission

Action potentials are transmitted from one cell to another. There are two different mechanism for transfer of electrical from one cell to another .
1) electrical synapsis
2)chemical synapses

in electrical synapses, the action potential jumps electrotonically from the presynaptic cell membrane to the postsynaptic cell membrane. In the chemical synapsis, neurotransmitter released from one cell provide transmission of impulses.
