Important Questions on Neural Control and Coordination

MEDIUM
Which one of the following ion pairs is involved in nerve impulses?
EASY
Each neuron has a cell body, axon, and dendrites. The dendrites are the protoplasmic extensions of the nerve cell. The axodendritic type of chemical synapse is formed by the association between the axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron and the dendrites of a post-synaptic neuron. The action potential causes the fusion of the synaptic vesicle to release the neurotransmitters for neurotransmission. Select the correct option from the following.
MEDIUM

Assertion (A): Impulse transmission across electrical synapse is always faster than that of chemical synapse.

Reason (R): In electrical synapse, pre and post synaptic membranes are in very close proximity and have links called gap functions.

The correct option among the following is

EASY
Action potential in neurons is generated by a rapid influx of
EASY

Assertion (A): In myelinated nerve fibres, action potentials are conducted at a faster rate.

Reason (R): The myelin present between nodes of Ranvier has concentrated Na and K voltage-gated channels.
