- sometimes the terms neuron and nerve are mistakenly used interchangeably. explain the difference between the two structures.arrow_forwardWhich statement is TRUE about the synapse? Neurotransmitters shuttle the signal back and forth between the pre- and post-synaptic cell. The pre-synaptic cell and post-synaptic cell are in direct contact, allowing the electrical signal to seamlessly flow from one to the other. The action potential jumps from the pre-synaptic cell into the post-synaptic cell. The action potential ends in the pre-synaptic cell and neurotransmitters carry the signal across the synaptic cleft to the post-synaptic cell.arrow_forwardDescribe the structural and functional differencesbetween the somatic nervous system and the ANSarrow_forward
