Synapses are unidirectional because neurotransmitter receptors are only present on the postsynaptic membrane, ensuring impulses travel from the presynaptic to the postsynaptic neuron.
Las sinapsis son unidireccionales porque los receptores de neurotransmisores solo se encuentran en la membrana postsináptica, permitiendo que los impulsos viajen únicamente del presináptico al postsináptico.
