Correct answer: Sarcolemma- A. Voluntary
- B. Branched
- C. Uninucleate
- D. Striated appearance
Explanation: Muscles that are uni-nucleate, meaning they contain a single nucleus per cell, primarily include cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
Correct answer: Uninucleate- 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: Acetylcholine18945. A typical neuron at rest:
- 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
- D. Initial nerve impulse
Explanation: Saltatory conduction describes how an electrical impulse skips from node to node down the full length of an axon, speeding the arrival of…
