Question

A diagram showing the axon terminal and synapse is given. Identify correctly at least two of A-D:

A

B- Synaptic connection; D- K+

B

A- Neurotransmitter; B- Synaptic cleft

C

C- Neurotransmitter; D- Ca++

D

A- Receptor; C- Synaptic vesicles

Step-by-Step Solution

Based on the standard diagram of an axon terminal and synapse (Figure 18.3 in NCERT Class 11), 'A' represents the Receptors present on the post-synaptic membrane that bind to released neurotransmitters. 'C' represents the Synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitters within the pre-synaptic axon terminal. 'B' typically represents the Synaptic cleft (the gap), and neurotransmitters are the chemicals released.

Exam Context & Concepts Covered

This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Neural Control and Coordination. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
