Brain receives and sends signals in the form of.
A
Electrical impulses
B
Mechanical impulses
C
Chemical impulses
D
Magnetic impulses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The basic unit of the brain is the neuron and neurons exchange signals in the form of electrical impulses through axons and dendrites.

Detailed explanation-2: -A synapse releases chemical signals, which are called neurotransmitters. These signals travel to another neuron to create a new electrical wave in that cell. The structure of a nerve cell, and the site of cell-to-cell communication (the “synapse”).

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters pass through the synapse, the gap between two nerve cells, and attach to receptors on the receiving cell. This process repeats from neuron to neuron, as the impulse travels to its destination-a web of communication that allows you to move, think, feel and communicate.
