Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron - another cell. Most synapses are chemical. Other synapses are electrical. Which statement(s) is/are TRUE about electrical synapses? Select all that seem appropriate. allow synchronization of cellular activities are found in heart muscle tissue allow the movement of ions through desmosomes occur when there is direct contact between electrically excitable cells allow rapid communication between cells
