    Four events in the transmission of nerve impulses across synapses are given below.
    (i) Depolarisation of the presynaptic membrane.
    (ii) Propagation of postsynaptic action potential.
    (iii) Hydrolysis of transmitter substance.
    (iv) Rupturing of synaptic vesicles.
    In which sequence do these events occur?

    A) (i)\[\to \](iii) \[\to \] (ii) \[\to \] (iv)

    B) (i)\[\to \](iv)\[\to \](ii) \[\to \] (iii)

    C) (iv)\[\to \](i)\[\to \](iii)\[\to \](ii)

    D) (iv)\[\to \](iii)\[\to \](i)\[\to \] (ii)

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The presynaptic  membrane  is first depolarised, stimulating the release of acetylcholine, the transmitter substance. This diffuses to the postsynaptic membrane, propagating   the   nervous   stimulus. Acetylcholine is then hydrolysed.
