Select the correct statement regarding chemical synapses. Select the correct statement regarding chemical synapses. Neurotransmitter receptors are located on the axons terminals of cells. An action potential reaching the axon terminal causes a chemical signal to be transmitted across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic cell. Cells with gap junctions use chemical synapses. The release of neurotransmitter molecules gives cells the property of being electrically coupled.
