Which Type of Synapse is Most Common in the Nervous

Question

Which type of synapse is most common in the nervous system?
A) chemical
B) electrical
C) mechanical
D) processing
E) radiative

Accepted Answer

Chemical synapses are the most common type of synapse in the nervous system. They involve the release and diffusion of neurotransmitters across a synaptic cleft to transmit signals between neurons. Electrical synapses are less common and involve the direct flow of ions between neurons through gap junctions. Mechanical synapses do not exist in the nervous system, while processing and radiative synapses are not recognized terms in neuroscience.
