Of the following neurotransmitters, which are not stored in vesicles before release by the presynaptic axon?
Amino Acids
Monoamines
Endocannabinoids
Acetylcholine
Polypeptides
excitation of inhibitory NTs
excitation of excitatory NTs
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.
