Short note on :Electrical synapse.

1.	Short note on :Electrical synapse.
Answer» 1. In this type of synapse gap between the neighbouring neurons is very narrow. 2. This electrical link is formed between the pre-and post-synaptic neurons. 3. At the gap junction, the two cells are within almost 3.8 nm distance of each other. 4. Transmission across the gap is faster. 5. Electrical synapses are found in those places of the body requiring fastest response as in the defence reflexes.
