Q. No.The change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals is called as:
1. Action potential
2. Threshold potential
3. Reversal potential
4. Excitatory post synaptic potential
1. Action potential
2. Threshold potential
3. Reversal potential
4. Excitatory post synaptic potential

Reissner’s membrane in the inner ear separates the cochlear duct [scala media] from the:
| 1. round window | 2. scale vestibuli |
| 3. scala tympani | 4. basilar membrane |
What is true for mechanism of hearing in humans?
1. Transmission of vibration by stapes to oval window → Waves in lymphs → Ripple in tectorial membrane → Hair cells bend against basilar membrane → Nerve impulse generated in afferent neurons
2. Transmission of vibration by malleus to oval window → Waves in lymphs → Ripple in basilar membrane → Hair cells bend against tectorial membrane → Nerve impulse generated in afferent neurons
3. Transmission of vibration by stapes to oval window → Waves in lymphs → Ripple in basilar membrane → Hair cells bend against tectorial membrane → Nerve impulse generated in afferent neurons
4. Transmission of vibration by stapes to oval window → Waves in lymphs → Ripple in basilar membrane → Hair cells bend against reisnner’s membrane → Nerve impulse generated in efferent neurons
