1.*electrical synapses* exist where gap junctions connect two neurons; allow for rapid communication between adjacent neurons via ions flowing through gap junctions in order to transport electrical signals from one neuron to the other
2.*chemical synapses* comprise of one neuron secreting a neurotransmitter into ecf in response to an action potential arriving at its axon terminal; neurotransmitter then binds to receptors on plasma membrane of second cell and triggers an electrical signal in that cell that may or may not initiate an action potential *majority of synapses = chemical synapses!

In the united states there are strict fishing seasons and limits, but not all countries enforce similar laws. in bangladesh there are few if any fishing restrictions. what might be the reason for less restrictions in smaller countries like bangladesh? a) the united states is the only country worried about overfishing. b) the united states wants to limit the supply of fish to increase the price. c) bangladesh and smaller countries have an unlimited supply of fish in their coastal waters. d) small countries, such as bangladesh, are practicing subsistence fishing, taking only the fish needed to survive.
