Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans.1. Option D is the correct answer.

EXPLANATIONS:- The depolarization of the axon occurs due to the influx of the Na+ and the reflux of the K+ ions. Due to the depolarization process the membrane potential changes from -70mV to positive membrane potential.

Ans.2. Option A is the correct answer.

EXPLANATIONS:- Pain stimuli are perceived by the nociceptors. They are the specialized peripheral sensory neurons.  

Ans.3. The given statement is false statement.

EXPLANATIONS:- Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans. Glucagon converts the glycogen into glucose. So it increases the blood glucose level.

Ans.4. Option A is the correct answer.

EXPLANATIONS:- The sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibres are cooperative in the reproductive system. They cooperate to do a bigger function coordinately. During the reproductive event both the system work together.
