Alzheimer disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of
1. dopamine
2. glutamic acid
3. acetylcholine

2. Epinephrine
3. Nor epinephrine
4. Cortisone
Which of the following pesticides is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
1. Aldrin

Unidirectional transmission of a nerve impulse through nerve fibre is due to the fact that
1. nerve fibre is insulated by a medullary sheath
2. sodium pump starts operating only at the cyton and then continues into the nerve fibre
3. neurotransmitters are relesed by dendrites and not by axon endings
4. neurotransmitters are released by the axon endings and not by dendrites.
The release of chemical messenger from synaptic vesicles is under the influence of these ion(s)
(1) CI-
(2) Fe++ and S++
(3) Ca++
(4) Mg++ and Sr++
Assertion : The chemical stored in the synaptic vesicles are termed as neurotransmitters.
Reason : Synaptic vesicles release these chemicals in the synaptic cleft.
