What will happen if a medicine blocks chemical messages at the synapse?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Message transfer between neurons will become difficult
A synapse is the small junction or gap through which one neuron communicates with the next neuron. Usually, the first neuron releases neurotransmitters, which cross this gap and trigger a signal in the next neuron. If a medicine blocks these chemical messages, transmission becomes weak or stops. Therefore, option A is correct; the other options describe biologically unrelated or impossible effects.
