Q. No.What is meant by the fact that the nerve impulses are conducted along an axon without decrement?
1. The action potentials are conducted at the same velocity.
2. The action potentials alter the threshold potential
3. The action potentials are conducted without decreasing amplitude
4. The action potentials will be produced by hyperpolariztion.

Electrical synapses differ from the chemical synapse in that they:
1. occur when two cells are joined by integrin proteins
2. are characterized by a synaptic cleft
3. occur between two cells of unequal size
4. require the presence of gap junctions

The last site in the soma where membrane potentials propagated from synaptic inputs are summated before being transmitted to the axon [often regarded as the point of initiation of action potentials] is known as:
1. postsynaptic membrane of the dendrite
2. cell body
3. axon hillock
4. axon terminal
Cocaine stimulates the synapses of specific neurons that release dopamine and other monoamines, by ______________.
1. inhibiting enzyme inactivation of dopamine or monoamines
2. blocking the dopamine or monoamine reuptake into the presynaptic axon ending
3. mimicking the effects of dopamine or monoamines on the postsynaptic cell
4. facilitating the release of dopamine or monoamines from the presynaptic terminal
