  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: Explanation:When the neuron is under action potential, the charges on the membrane are reversed.

Correct answer: Option D
  • A. Serotonin
  • B. Acetylcholine
  • C. Dopamine
  • D. Adrenaline

Explanation: Explanation:The neurotransmitter that lies outside the central nervous system is Acetylcholine, it is only present in the PNS.

Correct answer: Acetylcholine
  • A. Is more positive outside than inside
  • B. Is more negative outside than inside
  • C. Has no charge on either side
  • D. Has an equal charge on either side

Explanation: Option [A] A typical neuron is more positive outside than inside due to the presence of Na+ K+ pump which countertransports 3Na+ outside…

Correct answer: Is more positive outside than inside
  • A. Resting membrane potential
  • B. Saltatory nerve impulse
  • C. Threshold stimulus
