Why is neuronal synaptic conduction mostly ohodromic?

A
Dendrites cannot be depolarized
B
Once repolarized, an area cannot be depolarized
C
The strength of antidromic impulse is less
D
Chemical mediator is localised only in the presynaptic terminal
High-Yield Explanation
Characteristic of chemical synapses is that it always transmit signals in one direction, from the neuron that secretes the transmitter substance, called the presynaptic neuron, to the neuron on which the transmitter acts, called the postsynaptic neuron.
