    SOLUTIONS

    1. Ans: A nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another through


    junctions called synapses. A synapse is formed by the membranes of a
    presynaptic neuron and a postsynaptic neuron, which may or may not be
    separated by a gap called synaptic cleft. At a chemical synapse, the
    membranes of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons are separated by a fluid-
    filled space called synaptic cleft. Chemicals called neurotransmitters are
    involved in the transmission of impulses at these synapses. The axon
    terminals contain vesicles filled with these neurotransmitters. When an
    impulse (action potential) arrives at the axon terminal, it stimulates the
    movement of the synaptic vesicles towards the membrane where they fuse
    with the plasma membrane and release their neurotransmitters in the
    synaptic cleft. The released neurotransmitters bind to their specific receptors,
    present on the postsynaptic membrane. This binding opens ion channels

    1. Ans: Neurons are excitable cells because their membranes are in a polarised
    state. Different types of ion channels are present on the neural membrane.
    These ion channels are selectively permeable to different ions. When a neuron
    is not conducting any impulse, i.e., resting, the axonal membrane is
    comparatively more permeable to potassium ions (K+) and nearly
    impermeable to sodium ions (Na+). Similarly, the membrane is impermeable
    to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm. Consequently, the
    axoplasm inside the axon contains high concentration of K+ and negatively
    charged proteins and low concentration of Na+. In contrast, the fluid outside
    the axon contains a “low concentration of K+, a high concentration of Na+ and
    thus form a concentration gradient. These ionic gradients across the resting
    membrane are maintained by the active transport of ions by the sodium-
    potassium pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell. As a
    result, the outer surface of the axonal membrane possesses a positive charge

    while its inner surface becomes negatively charged and therefore is polarised.
    The electrical potential difference across the resting plasma membrane is
    called as the resting potential.
