|
i.
|
Electrical synapse is present.
|
Chemical synapase is present.
|
|
ii.
|
Membranes of pre-and post-synaptic neurons are in very close proximity provided by the gap junction.
|
The membranes of pre-and post-synaptic neurons are separated by a fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft.
|
|

|
Impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is fast.
|
Impulse transmission across a chemical synapse is slow.
|
|
iv.
|
No neurptransmitter is involved.
|
Neurotransmitter is involved.
|
|
v.
|
