The voltage-gated Na+ channels are ---------;
Single-gated |
||
Double-gated |
||
Open upon Acetylcholine binding |
||
Allow fast influx of Na+ ions |
||
All of the above |
||
Only #2 and #4 |
||
Only #2, #3 and #4 |
6th option is correct.
Options 2 and 4, double gated and fast influx of Na+ ions.
Explanation:
In the process of conduction of nerve impulse, voltage gated channels play a major role. They are two types of sodium voltage gated channels. Sodium activation and inactivation voltage gated channels.
In the depolarization process : The intial entry of sodium ions causes charge reversal from nagative to positive inside. It results in the opening of more and more sodium channels leading to a larger or fast influx of sodium ions. Called positive feedback regeneration.
Incorrect options :
Option 1: single gated.
Voltage gated channels of sodium cantains double gated which are sodium activation and inactivation voltage gated channels.
Option 3 : open upon the acetylcholin binding.
Sodium gated channels was not involved in the acetylcholin binding becausr acetylcholin interact with calcium voltage gated channels in synopsis transmission.
