An extremely high level of social inhibition is known as Social Anxiety Disorder, though is usually falselyperceived to be the result of a lack of confidence or self esteem.
Function of Electrochemical Impulses: In neurons, cell-to-cell communication is the major role of action potential. In other types of cells, activation of intracellular processes is their major function.
At gap junctions, such cells approach within about 3.5 nm of each other, a much shorter distance than the 20- to 40-nanometer distance that separates cells at chemical synapse. In many animals, electrical synapse-based systems co-exist with chemical synapses.Compared to chemical synapses, electrical synapses conduct nerve impulses faster, but, unlike chemical synapses, they lack gain âthe signal in the postsynaptic neuron is the same or smaller than that of the originating neuron.n important characteristic of electrical synapses is that, most of the time, they are bidirectional (allow impulse transmission in either direction). However, some gap junctions do restrict communication to only one direction.
