1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
Statement I: | Dendrites transmit impulses towards the cell body of the neuron. |
Statement II: | The axons transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body to a synapse or to a neuro-muscular junction. |
Assertion (A): | Neurons are excitable cells. |
Reason (R): | Their membranes are in a polarised state. |
I: | the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to potassium ions and nearly impermeable to sodium ions. |
II: | the axonal membrane has an excess of negative charge on the outside and an excess of positive charge just on the inside of the membrane. |
III: | the axonal membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm. |
1. | the passive transport of sodium and potassium ions through membrane channels. |
2. | the passive transport of sodium and chloride ions through membrane channels. |
3. | the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell. |
4. | the active transport of ions by the sodium-chloride pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 Cl- into the cell. |
Assertion (A): | Electrical synapses allow for faster transmission than chemical synapses. |
Reason (R): | Electrical synapses are rare in our system. |
