Which of the following statements regarding electrical or chemical synapses is CORRECT?
a. Transmission at an electrical synapse relies on the release of neurotransmitter from vesicles.
b. Information flow at a chemical synapse is bidirectional.
c. Transmission at a chemical synapse relies on direct ion flow between presynaptic and postsynaptic cell.
d. Electrical synapses provide flexibility and can be inhibitory.
e. An action potential at a presynaptic cell can cause inhibition in the postsynaptic cell at a chemical synapse.
