Synapses are unidirectional because neurotransmitters are only made and released from the presynaptic neuron, and neuroreceptors are only present on the postsynaptic membrane.
Las sinapsis son unidireccionales porque el neurotransmisor solo se produce y libera desde la neurona presináptica, y los neuroreceptores solo están presentes en la membrana postsináptica.
