Which of the following is correct regarding electrical synapses? I. Pre and postsynaptic membrane neurons are in very close proximity at electric synapse. II. Electric current is involved in the transmission of impulses. III. Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon. IV. Impulse transmission is always faster in electric synapse than that across a chemical synapse. V. Electrical synapses are rare in our system.

Answer: (D)
