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.
