Identify the incorrect statement:
1. The central nervous system includes the brain and the spinal cord.
2. The peripheral nervous system comprises of all the nerves of the body associated with the central nervous system.
3. The afferent nerve fibers transmit regulatory impulses from the central nervous system to the concerned peripheral tissues or organs.
4. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two divisions called somatic neural system and autonomic neural system

During the propagation of a nerve impulse, the membrane potential changes in a specific pattern. Which of the following correctly describes the sequence of events in the generation of an action potential?
1. The membrane potential remains constant, indicating a steady state of ion exchange across the neuron membrane.
2. Sodium ions rapidly enter the neuron, causing the membrane potential to become more negative, followed by the exit of potassium ions which restores the membrane to its resting potential.
3. Potassium ions rapidly exit the neuron, leading to hyperpolarization first, followed by sodium ions entering the neuron to return to the resting potential.
4. Sodium ions rapidly enter the neuron, making the inside more positive (depolarization), followed by potassium ions exiting the neuron, which restores the membrane to its resting potential (repolarization).

What is a key difference between electrical and chemical synapses?
1. Electrical synapses allow the direct flow of ions from one neuron to another, while chemical synapses involve the release of neurotransmitters.
2. Chemical synapses can transmit signals faster than electrical synapses.
3. Electrical synapses involve neurotransmitters, whereas chemical synapses do not.
4. Chemical synapses are found in the heart, while electrical synapses are found in the brain.

The sodium-potassium pump in neurons:
1. Moves 3 Na+ ions out of the cell and 2 K+ ions into the cell against their concentration gradients.
2. Moves 2 Na+ ions into the cell and 3 K+ ions out of the cell using ATP.
3. Does not require ATP to function.
4. Is involved in the generation of the resting membrane potential.
