It is one of the convulsive disorders of nerves which are characterized by abrupt transient symptoms of motor, sensory, psychic or autonomic nature________________?
Correct answer: B. Epilepsy
- A. Parkinson's disease
- B. Epilepsy
- C. Alzheimer's discease
- D. Dementia
Explanation
Epilepsy is a convulsive neurological disorder caused by abnormal, excessive electrical activity in the brain, producing temporary motor, sensory, psychic or autonomic symptoms. Students may choose Parkinson's disease because it also affects movement, but Parkinson's is primarily a progressive movement disorder rather than recurrent seizures.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse
Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
