If a neuron is prevented from sending a neurotransmitter across a synapse to another cell, which neuron property is being inhibited?

A) Secretion
B) Excitability
C) Conductivity
D) Permeability

Secretion

The process by which substances are produced and released from cells or glands, often for specific functions in the body, such as digestion or hormone regulation.

Neurotransmitter

A chemical substance released at the end of a nerve fiber by the arrival of a nerve impulse and, by diffusing across the synapse or junction, causes the transfer of the impulse to another nerve fiber, a muscle fiber, or some other structure.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Secretion is the process by which neurons release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with other neurons or cells. If this process is inhibited, the neuron cannot send its chemical signals.
