Four events in the transmission of nerve impulses across synapses are:I. Depolarisation of the presynaptic membraneII. Propagation of postsynaptic action potentialIII. Reabsorption of the transmitter substanceIV. Release of transmitter substance into the synaptic cleftIn which sequence do these events occur?FIRST -> LAST
Correct answer: B. I, IV, II and III
- A. I, III, II, and IV
- B. I, IV, II and III
- C. IV, I, III and II
- D. IV, III, I and II
- E. II, I, IV and III
Explanation
The sequence of transmission of nerve impulses is as follows:1. Depolarisation occurs at the presynaptic terminal.2. This leads to the release of the transmitter substance to the cleft.3. This leads to the depolarization at the postsynaptic membrane.4. Then the transmitter substance is reabsorbed back to the presynaptic membrane.So, from the above summary, it shows that the sequence in the transmission of nerve impulses across synapses is 1, 4, 2, and then 3.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
