Which statements describe the function of the central nervous system synapse? Standard Text: ...

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: In some cases, the firing of neurons is inhibited.
Rationale 2: Synapses within the CNS operate by an electrical impulse releasing a neurotransmitter to activate a receptor neuron on the opposite side. In some cases, the electrical impulse inhibits the release of the neurotransmitter.
Rationale 3: In some cases, there is release of an inhibitory neurotransmitter that suppresses neuronal conduction.
Rationale 4: The neuron is the primary functional cell for communicating messages through conduction of an action potential.
Rationale 5: The neuron is the primary functioning cell within the nervous system.
