    One of the following ions are required for nerve impulse transmission at the neuromuscular junction

    A)  magnesium                      

    B)  chloride

    C)  calcium               

    D)  iron

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                    Transmission of nerve impules from one neuron to another and at neuromuscular junction is required by an organic compound acetylcholine and \[C{{a}^{2+}}\] respectively. Most synapsis across these is by means of some chemical mediator. As action potential of depolarisation reaches the presynaptic membrane its voltage gated \[C{{a}^{2+}}\] channels open, \[C{{a}^{2+}}\] is some 10,000 times more concentrated in synaptic fluid. It therefore, reaches into presynaptic knob. \[C{{a}^{2+}}\] induce the synaptic vesicle to reach the presynaptic membrane fuse with it and release the neurotransmitter into synaptic cleft through exocytosis,
