If you were researching the process by which neurons pass electrical or chemical signals to other neurons or effector cells, which concept from the provided table of contents would be most directly relevant?

  • A: Concept 48.1 Neuron structure and organization reflect function in information transfer
  • B: Concept 48.3 Action potentials are the signals conducted by axons
  • C: Concept 48.4 Neurons communicate with other cells at synapses
  • D: Concept 49.1 Nervous systems consist of circuits of neurons and supporting cells

Explanation

Concept 48.4 specifically addresses how 'Neurons communicate with other cells at synapses', which is precisely the process of signal transmission between neurons or to effector cells.
