  1. A- Receptor, C- Synaptic vesicles
  2. B- Synaptic connection, C- K+
  3. A- Neurotansmitter, B- Synaptic cleft
  4. C- Neurotransmitter, B- Ca++

A
A- Receptor, C- Synaptic vesicles
B
B- Synaptic connection, C- K+
C
A- Neurotansmitter, B- Synaptic cleft
D
C- Neurotransmitter, B- Ca++
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The synaptic vesicles (represented by C) are present inside the axon terminals and they contain the neurotransmitters. They get attached to the pre-synaptic membrane and release the neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft (represented by B) which gets attached to the receptor (represented by A) present on post-synaptic membrane.
Thus, the correct solution is option A.

Q2
A list of events occurring in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse is given below in a random order.
(i) Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron.
(ii) Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post synaptic membrane.
(iii) Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter release into synaptic cleft.
(iv) Depolarisation of pre-synaptic membrane.
(v) Arrival of action potential at axon terminal.
Which of the following options represents these events in a correct order?
