Answer #1

Ans

1. C is correct

A. The voltage gated channels will open in response to voltage. The voltage-gated sodium channels open when membrane potential reaches -55mV and sodium influx occurs increasing the voltage

B. They close in response to the membrane potential.

C. The graded potential is caused by a ligand which causes opening of the ligand gated channels. So, the depolarizing graded potential can directly cause opening of ligand gated cation channels.

D c is correct

E. A,b wrong

2. c is correct

A. Voltage gated Sodium ion channels are located in many tissues in nerve , muscles,heart etc.

B. Ligand gated ACH receptors are located on the postsynaptic neuron where the neurotransmitter acetyl choline will bind to.

C. Voltage gated calcium channel are located on the synaptic bouton.

D. C is correct

E. A and B wrong.

When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, what is the proper order of events in which exocytosis of the neurotransmitter takes place? A. Ligand-gated Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes into the axon terminal; Na+ binds with synaptotagmin and together they activate the SNARE/vesicle complex, which docks and allows the neurotransmitter-filled vesicle to be exocytosed. B. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes into the axon terminal; Na+ binds with synaptotagmin and together they activate the SNARE/vesicle complex, which...
