A nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another through junctions called synapses. A synapse is formed by the membranes of a presynaptic neuron and a postsynaptic neuron, which may or may not be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft

There are two types of synapses, i.e., electrical synapses and chemical synapses. At electrical synapses, the membrane of pre- and postsynaptic neurons are in very close proximity. Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across these synapses

Transmission of an impulse across electrical synapses is very similar to impulse conduction along a single axon. Impulse transmission across an electrical synapse is always faster than the across a chemical synapse. Electrical synapses are rare in our system

At a chemical synapse, the membranes of the pre-and postsynaptic neurons are separated by fluid-filled space called synaptic cleft. Chemicals called neurotransmitters are involved in the transmission of impulses at these synapses

Given is the diagrammatic representation of impulse conduction through an axon (at points $A$ and $B$). View the diagram and arrange the steps of impulse conduction

$I.$ The polarity of the membrane at site $A$ is reversed and depolarized, i.e., the outer surface becomes negatively charged and the innerside becomes positively charged, generating nerve impulse

$II$. A stimulus causes disturbance to the membrane at site of $A$ nerve fibre resulting in leakage of $N a^{+i i}$ ions inside the nerve fibre

$III.$ On the outer surface, current flows from site $B$ to site $A$ to complete the circuit of current flow. Hence, the polarity at the site is reversed, and an action potential is generated at site $B.$ The impulse (action potential) generated at site $A$ arrives at site $B .$ The sequence is repeated along the length of the axon and consequently the impulse is conducted

$IV.$ Immediately ahead, the axon $(e \cdot g .$, site $B )$ membrane has a positive charge on the outer surface and a negative charge on its inner surface. As a result, a current flows on the inner surface from site $A$ to site $B$

  • A
    $I \rightarrow II \rightarrow IV \rightarrow III$

In the resting stage of a neuron, concentration gradient generates due to
  • High concentration of $K^{+i i}$ and low concentration of $N a^{+i i}$ inside the axon
  • B
    High concentration of $N a^{+i i}$ and low concentration of $K^{+i i}$ inside the axon
  • C
    low concentration of $N a^{+i i}$ outside the axon
  • D
    low concentration of $K^{+i i}$ outside the axon
Answer
Correct option: A.
High concentration of $K^{+i i}$ and low concentration of $N a^{+i i}$ inside the axon
a
High concentration of $K^{+i i}$ and low concentration of $N^{+i i}$ inside the axon.

Both $A$ and $R$ true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A .$

When a neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e., resting, the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to potassium ions $\left(K^{+i i}\right)$ and nearly impermeable to sodium ions $\left(N a^{+i i}\right) .$ Similarly, the membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm. Consequently, the axoplasm inside the axon contains high concentration of $K^{+i i}$ and negatively charged proteins and low concentration of $N a^{+i i} .$ In contrast, the fluid outside the axon contains a low concentration of $K^{+i i}$, a high concentration of $N a^{+i i}$ and thus form a concentration gradient

  • $(II)$ and $(IV)$
  • B
    $(I)$ and $(III)$
  • C
    $(II)$ and $(III)$
  • D
    $(I)$ and $(II)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(II)$ and $(IV)$
a
In neurons, the restoration of resting potential is called repolarization. After depolarization, with the increase of sodium ions inside the nerve fibre, the membrane becomes less permeable to $N a^{+i i}$ and more to $K^{+i i} .$ the $N a^{+i i}$ channels of axon membrane close and $K^{+i i}$ channels open. $N a^{+i i}$ influx stops and $K^{+i i i}$ outflow starts until the original resting state of ionic concentration is achieved. Thus, resting potential is restored, which is called repolarization of the membrane. Until repolarization occurs, neuron cannot conduct another impulse. The time taken for this restoration is called refractory period.

The nerve fibre in its resting stage is
  • More permeable to $K^{* i i}$
  • B
    Semi-permeable to $K^{+i i}$
  • C
    Less permeable to $K^{* i i}$
  • D
    All of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
More permeable to $K^{* i i}$
a
In resting nerve fibre (a nerve fibre that is not conducting an impulse), sodium ions ( $N a^{* i i}$ ) predominate in the extra cellular fluid, whereas potassium ions $\left(K^{* i i}\right)$ predominate in the intracellular fluid (within the fibre). This result in the fact that, the resting membrane has only a poor permeability for $N a^{* i i}$ although it has a higher permeability for $K^{* i i}$.

During the propagation of a nerve impulse, the action potential results from the movement of
  • A
    $K^+$ ions from intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid
  • $Na^+$ ions from extracellular fluid to intracelluar fluid
  • C
    $K^+$ ions from extracellular fluid to extracellular fluid
  • D
    $Na^+$ ions from intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid.
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Na^+$ ions from extracellular fluid to intracelluar fluid
b
(b) : Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs across a plasma membrane during the passage of a nerve impulse. As an impulse travels in a wavelike manner along the axon of a nerve, it causes a localized and transient switch in electric potential across the membrane from -$60\ mV$ (millivolts; the resting potential) to $+ 45\ mV$. It is due to the fact that the sodium channels open and the potassium channels remain closed. As a result, sodium channels permit the influx of $Na^+$ by diffusion from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid.

The axon terminal of the neuron contains many membrane bound vesicles called synaptic vesicles, in its cytoplasm. Within these vesicles, chemical substances such as adrenaline and acetylcholine remain stored. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, because they help to transmit nerve impulses across the synapses. When a nerve impulse passes the axon terminal, its synaptic vesicles release their stored chemicals to the synaptic cleft. These diffuse through the cleft to reach the membrane of the next neuron, stimulating the latter. This causes the nerve impulse to be transmitted along the next neuron
