On an exam, I asked students to "Name one way to end synaptic transmission." Basically, neurons communicate by releasing neurotransmitters into synapses. I'm asking students for one of the ways this communication ends.
A student answered, "Disconnect the head from the body."
Yeah, that would do it. Too bad they don't get points for amusing answers.
