Five events in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse -
A. | Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron |
B. | Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post-synaptic membrane. |
C. | Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter releases into synaptic cleft |
D. | Depolarization of pre-synaptic membrane |
E. | Arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal |
In which sequence do these events occur?
1. E D C B A
2. A B C D E
3. A B D C E
4. E D C A B
Mark the correct statement:
1. | Electrical synapses are more common in our neural system than chemical synapses. |
2. | The new potential in the post-synaptic neurons may be either excitatory or inhibitory. |
3. | Hypothalamus is the major coordination centre for sensory and motor signaling. |
4. | The tracts of nerve fibres that connect two cerebral hemispheres are called corpora bigemina. |
